With the American elections looming, TikTok, once again brought into the spotlight with allegations of political disinformation, has decided to find a solution to this issue. The company has prepared a special section for 27 European Union countries in the application, where it will publish disinformation reports to ensure election security in the respective countries by distinguishing accurate information from misinformation.
TikTok Declares War Against Disinformation!
Facing accusations of disinformation, TikTok has decided to embark on such a comprehensive project to erase this negative image. It is expected that various civil society organizations and government officials from EU countries will support the anti-disinformation section, which will be published next month.
From now on, videos related to elections in EU countries will feature an anti-disinformation label. Additionally, notifications will be sent to users to avoid deliberately spreading false information in compliance with community guidelines. It is expected that all these innovations will gradually transform TikTok into a more trustworthy platform over time.
Former Twitter employee Randall Lin claimed that he was unfairly fired by Elon Musk himself due to baseless allegations of leaking information.
Furthermore, it has been announced that the company’s management will adopt a more transparent governance policy, take strict measures against fake accounts with political agendas, and be more cautious against misleading content created with artificial intelligence technologies like deep fakes. However, whether the company will be able to fulfill these promises remains to be seen.
