TikTok's US arm has joined Lantern, a cross-platform initiative focused on child safety, according to TechCrunch. The move comes roughly eight months after TikTok set up a US-based joint venture.
Lantern is described as an industrywide effort that brings together fellow platforms to support child safety work. By joining, TikTok is aligning itself with a broader, cross-platform approach rather than operating in isolation.
The source does not provide details on which other platforms are involved or what specific safety measures Lantern promotes. With only one source, there is no alternative reporting to compare or contrast.
