COPPA compliance is a statutory obligation under federal law that materially constrains how the platform operates with respect to users under 13.

The updated Community Guidelines footer no longer includes a direct link to TikTok's Children's Privacy Policy. Previously, users navigating the Community Guidelines could access child-specific privacy disclosures through the footer link.
