TikTok, the social network for mobile videos in short format edited with music, has launched two new tools with the aim of making the user experience of creators more pleasant and not having to face content that they do not want to see or do not they want their followers to see.
The first one gives users the opportunity to have more control over their video comments. With the new " Filter all comments " tool you can decide which comments appear in the videos and which ones do not.
It is a tool that the content creator will have to expressly enable and that will not be activated by default. Once it is enabled, no comments will be made public on the social network until the author of the video approves it through the new comment management tool that will be activated for him.
This feature is based on the current TikTok comment control tool, which allows filtering spam and offensive comments , as well as silencing those that include certain keywords that the user selects. Now what is done is expanding its reach, by having to be the content creator himself who manually approves the comments that appear on his videos.
The second feature encourages users to reconsider posting unkind or inappropriate comments. When one is detected whose behavior pattern is suspicious or includes terms that are not appropriate, a message will be displayed to users asking them to reconsider the publication of the content, in a similar way as Twitter has also started to do .
In the message, TikTok will also remind users of the Community Rules and allow them to edit their comments before sharing them on the social network, in order to promote a healthier conversation on the platform.
