TikTok says adult-only livestreams could be used for things like certain comedy routines or when creators want to talk about a difficult life experience that is perhaps not suited for younger audiences. FOX13

The TikTok logo displayed on a phone screen and a laptop is seen in this illustration photo taken on Aug. 10, 2022. is increasing the age requirement for hosting a livestream on the platform and is launching adult-only livestreams, the company announced this week.

"For instance, perhaps a comedy routine is better suited for people over age 18. Or, a host may plan to talk about a difficult life experience and they would feel more comfortable knowing the conversation is limited to adults," TikTok stated in a post. "We want our community to make the most of the opportunities LIVE can bring without compromising on safety."

TikTok said it’s also updating its blocked keywords feature for live creators on the platform. Users can already use a keyword filtering tool to limit comments they feel aren't appropriate, and "in the coming weeks," the app is rolling out an updated version of this feature that will send a reminder to people and suggest new keywords they may want to consider adding to the filter list.
