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.
