TikTok updates automated takedown system

TikTok is bringing a new system to the U.S. and Canada for automatically removing videos that violate platform policies.

The automatic system will be used primarily for violations of TikTok’s policies on minor safety, sexual activities, violence, illegal activity and regulated goods, the company said in a blog post.

“While no technology can be completely accurate in moderating content, where decisions often require a high degree of context or nuance, we’ll keep improving the precision of our technology to minimize incorrect removals,” TikTok noted in a blog post
