Moves comes after EU wrote to social media platform calling on it to step up its efforts over illegal content
TikTok has said it has assigned more people to combat disinformation on its platform after the attack on Israel by Hamas after the European Union chastised the social media company.
The company, which is owned by China’s ByteDance, said in a statement it had “immediately mobilised significant resources and personnel to help maintain the safety of our community and integrity of our platform”, and that it had removed more than 500,000 videos and closed 8,000 live streams in the region.
