TikTok rolls out new features to combat bullying, harassment
TikTok wants to foster a community where its users treat each other with kindness and respect. With that goal in mind, the popular video-sharing app on Wednesday introduced new features intended to combat bullying and harassment on the platform.
TikTok's new Filter All Comments feature will allow users to filter and review every comment submitted for their content to decide whether it appears alongside their video. Users previously had a filter that targeted comments with spam or offensive language and keywords.
The other new feature introduced Wednesday is designed to coach users tempted to post comments that might be hurtful or inappropriate. If a user writes a comment such as "you're ugly," a prompt will appear that suggests they reconsider their comment and allows them to edit their comment before it's posted.
"We know that comments are an important way for community members to connect with creators, and we'll continue to develop ways to promote respectful discussion," TikTok said in a statement Wednesday.
