TikTok has announced updates on the platform as part of its commitment to support the safety of the community and foster kindness. The release of the updates comes as TikTok launched the next installment of its Community Guidelines Enforcement Report.
Here’s what’s new:
- Fostering authentic engagement in comments: TikTok has started testing a way to let individuals identify comments they believe to be irrelevant or inappropriate which adds to the range of factors we already use to help keep the comment section consistently relevant and a place for genuine engagement. To avoid creating ill-feeling between community members or demoralize creators, only the person who registered a dislike on a comment will be able to see that they have done so.
- New safety reminders for creators: To make it easier for the community to find and use the built-in safety tools offer on TikTok, the platform is experimenting with reminders that will guide creators to its comment filtering and bulk block and delete options. The reminders will be shown to creators whose videos appear to be receiving a high proportion of negative comments.
- Community Guidelines Enforcement Report: The report covers the last three months of 2021, and shows steadfast progress on removing violations of our policies before they receive a single view from the start of 2021 to the end. For instance, from the first to the fourth quarter of 2021, removals of content at zero views improved by 14.7% for harassment and bullying content, 10.9% for hateful behavior, 16.2% for violent extremism, and 7.7% for suicide, self-harm, and dangerous acts. The ongoing safety investments have helped meaningfully improve the speed at which we identify and remove violations.
