TikTok is developing a secure experience for the user community in Myanmar
As an innovative and creative platform, TikTok is deeply committed to ensuring that every user in Myanmar can experience a safe, supportive, and positive environment. Therefore, TikTok will introduce several essential safety features that can be used by the Myanmar community, encouraging responsible usage while providing tools to protect personal and mental well-being.
(1) Family Pairing
The Family Pairing Feature helps parents perform beneficial control measures by connecting their accounts with their teenagers’ TikTok accounts. With this feature, parents can manage daily phone usage time, filter out inappropriate content, and adjust direct messaging settings. It is particularly a practical method of supporting a safe TikTok experience for younger users.
(2) Customizable Safety Settings
User safety is extremely important. Therefore, TikTok has allowed users to customize settings to achieve a secure usage experience, including features like comment filtering, For You Feed refreshing, and adjusting post privacy settings. By fine-tuning these settings as needed, users can create safe TikTok experiences.
(3) Rapid Content Moderation
Content safety is a priority for TikTok. The platform’s content moderation system combines AI technology and human supervision to identify and remove content that violates community guidelines. This approach helps prevent the spread of dangerous or misleading content.
(4) Detailed Platform Safety Features
Regarding platform security, TikTok is committed to combating misinformation by collaborating with global fact-checking organizations and relevant experts. From April to June 2024, TikTok effectively removed 99.7% of content that violated community guidelines in Myanmar, removing 2,481,075 videos, with 95% of these removals detected and eliminated within 24 hours. These figures highlight TikTok’s ongoing commitment to rapidly implementing community safety standards and maintaining TikTok as a trustworthy space for genuine interaction.
(5) Clear Community Guidelines
TikTok’s community guidelines form the foundational cornerstone of a good TikTok ecosystem. They outline acceptable content and behavioral standards, guiding users towards respectful interactions. Everyone is encouraged to read and follow these guidelines to maintain a safe and welcoming community for all.
(6) Report and Block Features
When encountering unsatisfactory content or behaviors, TikTok’s Report and Block tools make it easy to take action. These tools help users protect themselves and contribute to a better community.
TikTok believes in equal responsibility for safety. It continuously upgrades its safety tools and resources and invites all users in Myanmar to familiarize themselves with these features and guidelines. By working together, we can build a safe and secure TikTok usage experience.
