TikTok Trying To Protect Users From Antisemitism And Islamophobia Content

JAKARTA TikTok mengakui bahwa mereka sedang mengalami masa sulit karena perang Israel dan Hamas. Pasalnya, konten antisemitism dan Islamophobia di platform mereka meningkat.

The hateful content that continues to emerge can harm more parties. Therefore, TikTok announced that it had formed an anti-hate task force and discrimination to crack down on content spreaders.

In addition to creating a new team, TikTok is also improving the content moderation system on its platform. They plan to launch a Peduli Comment Mode to control or filter unwanted comments by users.

If the Comment Care Mode feature is enabled, the TikTok algorithm will study various comments that have been deleted or reported by users. This feature will keep similar comments from reappearing.

TikTok has tested this filter on content creators. From the data they have, a number of content creators who use this filter have experienced a decline in comments that are detrimental and similar to those that have been reported. The number decreased by 30 percent.

This filter is still being developed by TikTok and has just been put into beta testing. They will continue to increase the shortcomings of the feature so that users can feel comfortable while using TikTok.

Meanwhile, TikTok said that the content in the form of hate speech, disinformation, and other policy violations continued to be handled. From October 7 to late November, TikTok stated that they had removed more than 1.3 million content.

TikTok emphasizes that they will not tolerate content creators or users who spread hate ideology. From all their actions so far, TikTok is determined to protect users from antisemitism and Islamophobia issues.
