TikTok is a popular social media site where users can make, share, and find short videos. The app gives users the ability to produce movies and share them with the community, giving young people a platform to express themselves through lip-syncing, singing, dancing, comedy, and other activities.

TikTok has a technology that detects, filters, and flags potential policy breaches, such as adult content, violent content, and graphic content. Content that is found to be in violation of TikTok's guidelines will either be automatically removed or highlighted for further inspection by their safety team.

The safety team will examine people's TikTok content or video if it is being investigated to see whether it violates any of their guidelines. So when you post a video, and it becomes viral or is reported, this could happen.

The OP's 15-year-old sister told her that she got banned from TikTok because she was underage. The OP laughed it off while saying that she’s really short and they must’ve confused her with a 12-year-old.

She begged the OP for her driver's license for her account appeal. Apparently, you can recover a banned account with a photo of your ID, but in this case, it was the OP's license.

The OP blatantly refused, saying that it just felt wrong to give someone her ID. But later on, the OP had doubts about her decision.

Redditors were of the opinion that both were underage and that the OP should tell their parents so they can educate her on the internet and personal document safety. The OP wasn't wrong for not giving her out her ID; after all, it's hers anyways, so she was declared "Not The A-Hole."
