JAKARTA As a very popular platform, TikTok is committed to presenting useful content. In line with this commitment, TikTok is working with the World Health Organization (WHO).

This agreement began on September 26. Together with WHO, TikTok will create reliable content as well as eradicate health disinformation through the Fides account, a community consisting of professionals in the field of health care.

Through this partnership, Fides network creators in the US, UK, France, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Mexico, and Brazil will promote the creation of evidence-based content. This network is believed to be able to overcome health challenges in the digital era.

Valiant Richey, Head of TikTok's Trust and Security Affordability Global, said the platform is used by millions of users who want to share and seek information. To support this, TikTok needs to support its content reliability.

That's why we are excited to partner with WHO's health care content creators, to further strengthen this commitment by presenting interesting and authoritative mental well-being content for our community, Valiant said.

Prior to partnering with TikTok, Fides from WHO was active in creating content that counters misinformation. This community has more than 800 content creators who have managed to reach millions of people from various parts of the world.

TikTok believes in Fides' credibility. During this collaboration, creator Fides will explain the results of complex research into interactive, relevant content, and of course easy for ordinary people to understand.
