For You feed Eligibility Standards

For You feed Eligibility Standards

Last updated, March 2023

The For You feed (FYF) is a unique TikTok feature that uses a
personalized recommendation system to allow each community
member the ability to discover a breadth of content, creators, and
topics. In determining what gets recommended, the system takes into
account factors such as likes, shares, comments, searches, diversity of
content, and popular videos. Learn more about the recommendation
system, as well as tools to help customize recommendations.

Certain types of content may be fine if seen occasionally, but

problematic if viewed in clusters (such as videos that involve dieting,
extreme fitness, sadness, or sexual suggestiveness). This type of
content may be eligible for the FYF but, to protect our community, we
will interrupt repetitive content patterns to ensure it is not viewed too
often. Learn more about our approach to safeguarding and diversifying
recommendations.

We maintain content eligibility standards for the FYF that prioritize

safety and are informed by the diversity of our community and cultural
norms. While the spontaneity of the FYF is what makes TikTok unique, it
is intended for a range of audiences that includes everyone from
teenagers to great grandparents. We make ineligible for the FYF
certain content that may not be appropriate for a broad audience
related to: (1) Behavioral Health, (2) Sensitive and Mature Themes,
(3) Integrity and Authenticity, and (4) Regulated Goods. We may also
make some of this content harder to find in search.

We also know that the FYF opens creators to a large audience, which is
not always appropriate for some young people. To give youth suitable
room for exploration, we also do not make eligible for the FYF any
content from accounts of creators under the age of 16.
