The updated terms restrict platform access for users under 14 in Florida, narrowing the age group that can use the full Platform to those 14 and older in that state. Users under 14 in Florida must use the separate Under 13 Experience, which limits data collection and includes additional safety protections. Additionally, the revised liability exemptions now explicitly state that TikTok is not liable for suspension or termination of accounts, meaning users cannot seek damages for account loss under the terms of service.
