    Tiktok Updates Its Content Rules As Pressure From The West Increases

    By

    TikTok has revised its policies and guidelines for users and content in response to mounting criticism from western authorities who are worried that content on the Chinese-owned video-sharing  app  may  be  used  to disseminate false information.  A revised set of community rules that the firm published includes eight guiding principles for content moderation choices.  Julie de Bailliencourt, TikTok’s global head of product policy, stated that these guidelines are founded on the company’s commitment to upholding human rights and are consistent with international legal frameworks.

Today's Quote

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
