Why Do the TikTok Account Permanently Ban:

There are certain reasons why your TikTok account gets banned:

1. Violated TikTok Policy

The most common reason accounts are permanently banned on TikTok is because they violate the community guidelines laid down for the user’s convenience and safety. Community guidelines ensure that videos do not contain hate speech, racism, plagiarism, or any type of harassment or misconduct.

This is because TikTok is a place not only for adults but minors above the age of 13. Thus everyone must make videos that do not offend or violate any community or individual; if that happens, the users are banned from using the app. 

2. Your Age in the matter (13 years old):

You may be banned from TikTok because of your age. To be a TikTok user, a person has to be at least 13 years of age. Often people increase their age and put this wrong detail in their account.  

According to a privacy protection act for children, TikTok is responsible if there are underage users on the app. Therefore, it is removing all accounts from the app that are underage or even those who mistakenly put the wrong birthday.

While applying, the user may put the wrong birthday, but if it is found during verification that the user is underage, their account is banned.
