Be Safe with TikTok: Enhancing Digital Literacy in Myanmar Through the Digital Literacy Hub
TikTok, one of the world’s leading short-video platforms, is committed to creating a safe and informative digital environment for its users. With the rapid evolution of the digital landscape, media literacy, online safety, and digital well-being are becoming increasingly important. In line with this commitment, TikTok is sharing information about the Myanmar Digital Literacy Hub, a resource designed to equip users with knowledge and tools to use the internet responsibly.
The Myanmar Digital Literacy Hub provides access to essential topics, including online security features, cyber well-being, and digital health. It also offers educational content on preventing online exploitation, avoiding exposure to harmful substances, and ensuring the safety of underage users online. Under the campaign slogan “Think Before You Post,” users can access engaging content such as digital well-being tips, quizzes, and storytelling-based lessons. The hub features infographics and videos created by local content creators to enhance digital awareness.
Additionally, TikTok has developed a special educational video series for Myanmar called “Be Safe with Soe,” which includes ten videos. The series features characters representing Myanmar’s TikTok users and their communities, with voiceovers by local actors. These videos aim to raise awareness about digital safety and strengthen TikTok’s security measures within the country. By combining practical guidance with compelling storylines, the series helps users recognize online risks, engage responsibly with content, and create a safer online experience for themselves and their communities.
Through its investment in the Myanmar Digital Literacy Hub and the “Be Safe with Soe” video series, TikTok underscores its dedication to fostering a safe and educational online space. By continuously expanding safety initiatives and providing accessible educational resources, TikTok empowers users to make responsible digital choices.
All TikTok users in Myanmar are encouraged to explore the Digital Literacy Hub and watch the “Be Safe with Soe” video series. Together, we can build a safer and more enjoyable digital experience for everyone.
