BEIJING (Bloomberg): ByteDance Ltd introduced a TikTok-style service for China’s youth that sets strict controls on daily usage after Beijing stepped up efforts to protect minors from the internet’s risks.
The app, called Xiao Qu Xing or "Little Fun Star,” offers a personaliSed feed of short videos in areas ranging from science to literature and art history. Users are allowed to like clips but not upload or share them, while parents can adjust the usage time for their kids to at most 40 minutes per day.
