TikTok has announced that it will use more automation to remove videos from its platform that violate community guidelines.
"Currently videos are uploaded to the platform through detection technology tools that identify and mark possible violations which will then be reviewed by members of the security team. If violations are identified, the video will be removed and users will be notified," TikTok said.
The ByteDance -owned company added that in the next few weeks, it will automatically remove certain types of content that violate security policies, adult nudity and sexual activity, violent and graphic content as well as illegal activities and items.
TikTok said the move will help his security forces to better concentrate on highly contextual areas such as bullying and harassment, misinformation and hateful behavior.
TikTok also added that it will send alerts to customers first. However, if the violation is repeated, the user will be notified and the account can also be permanently deleted.
The change came when social media networks, including Facebook and TikTok, were attacked for triggering hate speech and misinformation across their platforms.
