Notable changes
According to Sandeep Grover - Global Director in charge of Safety and Security of TikTok, this update continues to affirm its efforts to protect users, with a simpler, more accessible, transparent language and many new policies developed. This update adds a series of safety features for adolescents and families, creators, and the entire TikTok community.
The changes in the update are based on conversations and teamwork with content creators, so that TikTok can better understand their needs.
Accordingly, TikTok has added a Summary of rules section, to provide general summaries of each policy, making information more accessible.
Some new rules and standards include: New regulations to more effectively handle deviant content; adjust existing policies - for example bullying and weight loss content; merge disjointed regulations related to gambling, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, guns and dangerous weapons into a common policy on controlled goods and services.
To help creators and users better understand the rules applied to their accounts and products, this social networking platform has also expanded the account and Features section to better share security measures for features such as direct messages, comments, live live live, live, live, and TikTok Shop.
In addition, TikTok has also increased transparency in how it enforces its rules, providing more information on how its policies are adjusted and applied in each region, to ensure consistency and respect for the cultural values and standards of the local community.
How TikTok enforces the rules
By strengthening the community standard set, TikTok also increases guidance and training to ensure the censorship team and technology system apply regulations in a consistent and accurate manner.
Accordingly, TikTok will continue to invest in censorship technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), to expand its approach to improve enforcement efficiency.
Currently, more than 85% of violating content is detected and handled using automatic technology, of which 99% is removed before being reported by users.
At the same time, TikTok also makes it easier for creators to complain when content is removed or limited, and the complaint rate remains stable even as TikTok applies more automatic censorship technology.
It is known that the changes in the community standard set will officially take effect from September 13.
