The social network also suspended eight thousand live streams that violated its rules.
Chinese social network TikTok has removed 500,000 videos and halted 8,000 live streams related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as part of efforts to combat disinformation. This was stated in a statement from the platform, published on October 15.
It was noted that in order to prevent the use of TikTok functions to incite hatred, additional restrictions on participation in the LIVE program were temporarily introduced “given the increased security risk in the context of the current hostage situation.”
The service also announced the recruitment of additional moderators with knowledge of Arabic and Hebrew to review content related to Middle Eastern events.
We remind you that against the backdrop of the events in Israel and the Gaza Strip, the European Commission called on the owner of the X (Twitter) platform, Elon Musk, to fight the spread of disinformation.
The EC also sent a warning to TikTok and Meta Corporation regarding the dissemination of illegal content about the conflict in Israel.
