最多60分钟!TikTok“限制”未成年使用时间

译介 2023-06-20


23日,TikTok首席执行官周受资在美国国会出席听证会。周受资表示,外界对TikTok存在太多误解,他愿代表公司向美国国会及所有美国用户作出四项承诺:优先考虑安全,尤其是青少年用户安全;设置防火墙以防境外访问;确保言论自由,不受任何政府操纵;维持透明度,确保受到监管。


周受资否认有关指控,并表明TikTok平台致力于维护美国用户数据安全。他也强调,这一APP没有受到中国政府控制,也没有获取任何数据




The 60-minute screen time limit can be unlocked with a passcode, and comes as lawmakers across the country make moves to ban the app.
在美国各地的立法者提出封禁TikTok的法案之际,TikTok发布了针对18岁以下用户的60分钟的屏幕时间限制,该设置可以通过密码解除。


Have you ever used TikTok for such a long time that you felt like your brain was going to melt and leak out of your ears? Well TikTok now has a plan (albeit certainly not foolproof) to prevent teens and children using the app from endlessly scrolling. In the next few weeks, all users under 18 years old will receive a 60-minute screen time limit automatically set by the app that can only be unlocked with a passcode.
您是否曾因长时间使用TikTok而感到头晕脑胀?TikTok目前推出一项计划,用于防止青少年和儿童无休止地滑动观看视频,尽管这不一定是万全之策。在接下来的几周内,所有18岁以下的TikTok用户都将受到该应用程序自动设置的60分钟屏幕时间限制,该设置只能使用密码解除。


TikTok announced the feature today, and is the first to admit that the 60-minute time limit is a little bit arbitrary. However, the company claims that the decision is based on research from and consultations with the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children’s Hospital. Once users between 13 and 18 reach the one-hour time limit, they will be prompted to enter a self-set passcode to unlock extra time. While this is an easy workaround, TikTok says that it will force teen users to make an active decision in their content consumption. For users under 13, a parent or guardian must set the passcode.
TikTok今天宣布了这一功能,并率先承认60分钟的时间限制有点武断。然而,该公司声称,该决定是基于波士顿儿童医院数字健康实验室的研究并咨询该实验室后作出的。一旦13至18岁的用户对TikTok的使用达到一小时的时间限制,就会收到提示,要求其输入自行设置的密码,以解锁额外的使用时间。虽然这只是一个简单的变通,但TikTok表示,此举将力促青少年用户在个人内容消费方面做出积极的决定。而对于13岁以下的用户,其父母或监护人必须设置密码。


The feature will roll out “in the coming weeks,” according to TikTok’s press release, but, when asked, TikTok did not tell Gizmodo when, specifically the one-hour time limit will be released.
根据TikTok的新闻稿,该功能将在“未来几周内”推出,但当被Gizmodo问及时,TikTok没有表明具体时间,尤其是一小时时间限制的具体上线时间。


Of course, this all comes as lawmakers both on the state and federal levels are banning access to the ByteDance-owned app on government-issued devices, amid ongoing privacy concerns about the China-based company. It also comes as Republican-backed legislation to ban TikTok nationwide makes moves through Congress.
当然,这一切发生的背景是美国州和联邦层面的立法者禁止在政府发放的设备上访问字节跳动旗下的应用程序,因为立法者对这家中国公司始终抱有隐私方面的担忧。与此同时,在共和党的支持下,在全国范围内禁用TikTok的立法也在国会获得通过。


Senator Josh Hawley is one of the loudest lawmakers calling for an all-out ban of the app. Upon introducing legislation to ban it in January, the Republican wrote that TikTok, “...threatens our children’s privacy as well as their mental health.”
While those following along don’t see a nationwide ban actually happening, it would be hard not to see TikTok’s latest move to curb screen time for kids as merely an effort to get lawmakers to ease up on calls to block access to the app.
参议员Josh Hawley是呼吁全面禁止该应用程序的最迫切的立法者之一。这位共和党人在1月份提出禁用TikTok的法案时称TikTok“……对我国少年儿童的隐私和心理健康造成了威胁。”


虽然此事件的关注者不认为政府真的会下达全国范围内的TikTok禁令,但很难不认为TikTok限制未成年人使用时间的最新举措仅是为了缓和立法者对封禁该应用程序的呼吁。
That’s not to say that social media platforms like TikTok aren’t impacting kids. They certainly are. A survey from the Boston Children’s Hospital’s Digital Wellness Lab of over 1,400 teens found that 64% of respondents said that their screen usage interfered with sleep, while 52% said it interfered with family time. The survey also found that TikTok was the second most popular app being used by the teens that were canvassed, with 64% of teens using it at least once a day.
这并不是说像TikTok这样的社交媒体平台不会影响未成年人。它们当然会。波士顿儿童医院数字健康实验室对1,400多名青少年进行的一项调查发现,64%的受访者表示玩手机干扰了他们的睡眠,而52%的受访者表示手机的使用影响了家庭相处时间。这项调查还发现,在受访者使用的应用程序中,TikTok的受欢迎程度排在第二,而64%的受访者每天至少使用一次TikTok。


Obviously, Gen Z loves TikTok, but the impacts of the app—and social media more broadly—amongst the younger generations are becoming harder and harder to ignore. Earlier this year, the Seattle school system sued several social media companies, including Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and (you guessed it) TikTok, arguing that these platforms have helped foster a youth mental health epidemic.
显然,Z世代很爱用TikTok,但该应用程序以及更广泛的社交媒体对年轻一代的影响越来越难以忽视。今年早些时候,西雅图学区的几所学校起诉了几家社交媒体公司,包括Facebook、Instagram、Snapchat,当然还有TikTok(没错,你猜对了),原因是这些平台助长了青少年的心理健康问题。
