TikTok’s ‘Family Pairing’ enhances safety
Since last quarter, TikTok identified 33 new misinformation claims, resulting in the removal of 58,000 videos from the platform globally.
TikTok is introducing a new penalty system where if someone violates one of its Community Guidelines, their account will accrue a strike for this specific policy violation. The platform will keep a count of the number of strikes accumulated, and if the person continues posting violative content, they will be permanently banned.
The number of strikes leading to a permanent ban depends on the severity of the violation, and the number of total violations.
