LAHORE: TikTok, the leading destination for short-form mobile videos, hosted a webinar on ‘Digital Wellbeing’ today (Monday) to educate the public on its Community Guidelines, safety policies and tools.
A three-member panel comprising Jamin Tan, Head, APAC Regional Product Policy at TikTok; Jehan Ara, Member TikTok APAC Safety Advisory Council; and Junaid Akram, a prominent content creator discussed online safety as an industry-wide challenge and the efforts exerted by TikTok to create a safe and positive environment for its users.
The webinars’ agenda was not limited to safety only, as the members also used this avenue to share tips on content creation and encourage the TikTok Community in Pakistan to create more educational and thought-provoking content.
“We have invested heavily to make sure that TikTok remains a safe platform for users. We also released our Community Guidelines in Urdu to bridge the gap between the users and the platform,” said Jamin Tan.
He further said, “Since safety is a top priority for us, we introduced a multitude of safety controls to protect the experience of our younger users, especially the Family Pairing feature. Age gate is the first step in ensuring the right content reaches the right people.”
“Since I started developing knowledgeable and creative content on TikTok, the diversity of my audience has increased. The penetration of TikTok is so deep that it goes into the remotest areas of Pakistan. I deliver knowledge through my comedy content and try to educate masses. It spreads so quickly,” said content creator Junaid Akram.
