Popular video-sharing app TikTok has joined a long list of other social media apps that are combating bullying and harassment on their platforms. The company announced that it will be rolling out 2 new features to foster kindness on TikTok.
The first feature is the all-new ‘Filter All Comments’ that will allow creators to have more power to control which comments can be posted on their content. When enabled, comments will not be displayed unless the creator approves them individually using the new comment management tool.
TikTok says this feature builds on their existing collection of comment controls that allow people to filter spam and offensive comments, and specific keywords.

A TikTok account believed to belong to a Pennsylvania teenager accused of murdering her wheelchair-bound older has been taken down from the social media app for violating the company’s community guidelines, Fox News has learned.
Fox News has confirmed that TikTok closed the account @spiritsandsuchconsulting, which users have linked to 14-year-old Claire Miller in the days since she was arrested in connection with the stabbing death of her sister Helen, 19, at the family’s Manheim Township home earlier this week, police have said.
TikTok’s Community Guidelines state the app does not allow individuals or organizations on our platform who promote or are engaged in violence. A source familiar to the matter confirmed on Friday that the account was suspected to have been connected to Miller.
When
Snapchat’s new short video platform,
Spotlight, launched Nov. 23, it made an intriguing promise: Each day, it would divvy up at least $1 million amongst the makers of its most popular content.
Since then, it’s paid out more than $50 million total to over 1,000 creators–and it plans to continue the million-a-day initiative for the foreseeable future, it tells
Tubefilter.
Snapchat says it intends to release metrics about the payouts soon, but for now, it doesn’t disclose much about them. We don’t know how it determines which creators make “top” videos, or what formula is used to parcel out the daily million (are creators paid per view? Per watch time?). We also don’t know how many creators are paid each day, or what the average payout is.
