"It is more important than ever to ensure that misinformation that could harm wider public safety is not allowed to proliferate online," said Kevin Morgan of TikTok.TikTok has announced a suite of new global changes to tackle vaccine misinformation, to clarify rules about the app, and a new feature to protect users from questionable but allowable content.
"We know it is more important than ever to ensure that misinformation that could harm wider public safety is not allowed to proliferate online," said Kevin Morgan, TikTok's head of product and process in Europe.TikTok announced the news on the same day that the UK Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport unveiled new proposals for its Online Harms Bill, which would enshrine the requirements of big tech to protect users or face punitive fines.
Companies that do not follow those rules could be fined up to 10% of their annual global turnover, or £18 million – whichever is higher. The change in eating disorder policy comes a day before TikTok appears in front of lawmakers for the Commons Women and Equalities committee about body image.
