So far, 53 platforms offer anti-addiction features, including 24 live streaming platforms. When trials started
in March this year, the biggest names in Chinese video streaming were participating: Bilibili, Kuaishou, Tencent Video, Baidus iQiyi, Alibaba's Youku and TikTok, known in China as Douyin.
These platforms now offer options to turn off certain functions like private messages, bullet chat and content sharing. Another function will stop kids from showering live-streamers with their parents' hard-earned cash which has been known to reach nearly US$75,000.
