TikTok Maker Caps Screen Time for Youths in China

The Wall Street Journal

In the latest move to curb screen time for younger Chinese users, ByteDance Ltd., the maker of the hit short-video mobile app TikTok, said that it would restrict access to Douyin, the Chinese version of the app, to 40 minutes a day for users under 14 years old.

Douyin’s “youth mode,” which follows the imposition of new limits on younger Chinese users’ access to online videogames, will restrict under-14s to using the app between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. The app will be inaccessible to all users in that age group outside of those hours.

Douyin had introduced some of the features beginning in 2018, but on an optional basis. The measures would apply to all users registered with their real names and as being under 14 years old, Douyin said Saturday.

It said that the mandatory measures were designed to protect younger users from harmful content. In that vein, the up-to 40 minutes a day of Douyin for younger users will henceforth serve up edifying content such as science experiments, museum exhibitions and history lessons, the company said.

To aid enforcement, Douyin called on parents to register their children with their real names and ages.

In June, Beijing revised its Minor Protection Law, requiring digital-content providers to implement time-management tools, restrict certain features and limit purchases for users under the age of 18.

Last month, China issued strict new measures aimed at curbing youth videogame addiction by limiting play time to three hours a week for most of the year.

Douyin’s primary domestic rival, Kuaishou Technology’s namesake app, began offering a similar—albeit optional—“youth mode” feature in 2019, supplying preselected age-appropriate content and limiting daily app use to a maximum of 40 minutes between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. Kuaishou is backed by Chinese tech giant Tencent Holdings Ltd.

Tencent’s WeChat, China’s ubiquitous do-everything messaging chat service, also offers an optional “youth mode,” which prevents users from accessing some games as well as the app’s payment function.

TikTok, Douyin’s international counterpart, published last month a number of measures aimed at addressing privacy and security concerns around young users—for instance setting accounts of users under 16 years of age to private by default and allowing parents to guide their children’s usage with a pairing function.

热门短视频移动应用TikTok所属公司字节跳动表示，它将限制14岁以下的用户每天使用该应用的中国版--抖音，这是遏制中国青少年屏幕使用时间的最新举措。

cap

表示“对（收费或花费）定限额，限制；限额收取（或支出）”，英文解释为“to limit the amount of money that can be charged for sth or spent on sth”如：a capped mortgage 限额按揭，举个🌰：

Our mortgage is capped at 8.75 percent for five years.

我们的按揭贷款5年期的利率上限为8.75%。

curb

表示“控制，抑制，限定，约束（不好的事物）”，英文解释为“to control or limit sth, especially sth bad”举个🌰：

He needs to learn to curb his temper.

他得学着控制自己的脾气。

Douyin's “youth mode,” which follows the imposition of new limits on younger Chinese users' access to online videogames, will restrict under-14s to using the app between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. The app will be inaccessible to all users in that age group outside of those hours.

类似的：

📍unavailable表示“得不到的；见不到的；不能交谈的”，英文解释为“When things or people are unavailable, you cannot obtain them, meet them, or talk to them.”举个🌰：

He is out of the country and so unavailable for comment.

抖音从2018年开始引入了一些功能，但都是可选的。抖音周六表示，这些措施将适用于所有以实名注册且未满14岁的用户。

feature

1）作名词，原意表示“特色；特征；特点，功能”，英文解释为“something important, interesting or typical of a place or thing”，此前在iOS 14来了!文中就出现了多次的feature，介绍iOS 14各种新功能，新特点，举个🌰：

📍在英文歌中会经常看到这种说法，xxxa feat. xxxb，此处feat.实际上就是feature的缩写，大概意思是歌曲中穿插另外一个人的演唱或表演，xxxa和xxxb共同演绎，合作演出。据百度百科，feat.的是后面这个歌手（或者组合）他在这首单曲里面或者这张专辑里面并不是主角，前面那个人才是这首歌的灵魂或者主人。

counterpart

counterpart一词经常出现，counter-表示“相反的；对立的；相应的”（opposite; against; in return; corresponding），和part一起就是“对立的，相应的事物”，从而表示“职位相当的人；作用相当的事物”，英文解释为“Somene's or something's counterpart is another person or thing that has a similar function or position in a different place.”
