TikTok interface – SOPA Images / SIPA

“Bullying deteriorates the trust environment on which the application is based and hurts the self-esteem of users,” explains a company official. ” It is for this reason that […] we were investing in actions that help TikTok remain a place where kindness and compassion thrive, ”he adds.
Under fire from critics
TikTok users can thus participate in this initiative in order to share their own experiences. The social network has recently had to respond to many criticisms concerning in particular the fact that it can represent a danger for minors by being exposed to inappropriate content, specifies Lemon Juicer.
