TikTok to penalize creators who repeatedly share 'problematic' content

In a move to create a safer environment for its users, especially teenagers, TikTok is increasing penalties for creators who disseminate "problematic" content. The social media behemoth is also modifying its guidelines on what can be recommended within the app. This action forms part of TikTok's strategy to alleviate concerns from US lawmakers/regulators regarding the platform's safety. The updated community guidelines, due in May, will include an extensive list of content ineligible for recommendation in the app's "For You" feed.
