is strictly educational and can only be used certain times of the day
Nope and nope. Like normak tiktok, douyin have all sort of things, depends on what you view. You can login to it (doesn’t have to), and the account is connect to your cellphone number which is connected to your national ID. I don’t know if theres time limitations if you are a minor though.
I’ve sideloaded douyin before, it isn’t strictly educational but I do believe if a child is using the device there is time limits. and also you can’t sign up without a Chinese ID but it doesn’t require an account. I actually did find some Americans on there who somehow found a way to sign up.
The IDs of criminals are sometimes leaked on the web. People use those leaked IDs to register their account. Many systems don’t actually check whether the ID is already registered, it works as long as the ID itself is valid.
Lol lazy CCP. Now that optimization is going brr that probably won’t last. Lol idk maybe they don’t care. If it isn’t a problem why care? If it became an issue though they’d lock it down so fast lol
China has indeed blocked tiktok, but their version, douyin likely runs on similar systems and have similar types of contents. These two versions just don’t share content and probably have different moderation and privacy policies.
I think you are confusing the tiktok block with the computer game ban, which requires excessive verifications (even biometric) to play games. And underaged children can only play games in assigned time slots with time limit:
In 2019, the country imposed a cybercurfew barring those under 18 from playing games between 10 p.m. and 8 a.m.
Recognizing that wily teenagers might try to use their parents’ devices or identities to circumvent the restrictions, the Chinese internet conglomerate Tencent said this week that it would close the loophole by deploying facial recognition technology in its video games.
Fun fact, China doesn’t even have TikTok, their version is strictly educational and can only be used certain times of the day, to my understanding
