Why is TikTok updating its guidlines?
TikTok often updates its guidelines to help make the platform a safer place for its community members.
TikTok continues to remove content it deems inappropriate and has tightened its guidelines over the past few years.
Head of TikTok’s trust and safety, Cormac Keenan, stated the new guidelines will: “strengthen our dangerous acts and challenges policy, broaden our approach to eating disorders, add clarity on the types of hateful ideologies prohibited on our platform, and expand our policy to protect the security, integrity, availability, and reliability of our platform.”
On March 7, 2022, TikTok users will begin to see these new guidelines in effect.
