The famous short video application “Tik Tok” announced that it has added new comment filtering tools, which help in better dealing with any controversial content, especially content related to the Israeli war in the Gaza Strip, and the hate speech associated with it.
TikTok statement
TikTok said in an official statement: The most prominent of these new tools is the “Comment Care Mode,” which is supposed to automatically filter comments that are considered similar to comments that were previously reported or deleted by the content creator.
Another new feature helps cancel comments made by accounts that are not on the creator’s list of followers or followers.
The company aims to increase the awareness of new users of these tools. By sending a message after they upload their first video, and in the long run you will set up a beta testing program for the product to get direct feedback from the creators.
Tiktok New Task
TikTok has created a new task force to combat hate and discrimination, hoping to proactively detect anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, and other hate trends before they get out of control.
The team will work with experts to improve moderator training to better address hate speech and will expand its managed creator communities to include Jewish communities, as well as other interfaith communities in the next year.
The information added: TikTok plans to expand access to its research APIs to civil society groups, as the likes of the Anti-Defamation League have requested for years; So they can better understand the types of content spread on TikTok.
Reports indicate that TikTok’s intensive efforts may not convince those who still accuse its algorithm of bias, as the platform has at least continued to remove an astonishing amount of content that it described as “offensive.” The latest number of deleted videos in the conflict zone reached 1.3 million, between October 7 and November 30, and included “content promoting Hamas, hate speech, terrorism, and misinformation.”
