TikTok Announces Stricter Rules for User Comments
(TikTok’s New Policy on User Interactions)
TikTok is changing how people interact on its platform. The company announced new rules for user comments today. These changes aim to make the TikTok experience safer and more positive for everyone.
The main update involves stronger filtering of comments. TikTok’s computer systems will now automatically hide comments that break its rules. This includes bullying, harassment, hate speech, and misleading information. Users will see fewer harmful comments under videos.
TikTok developed these new filters using recent feedback. Many users reported seeing too many negative comments. The company says protecting its community, especially younger users, is its top priority. These steps should reduce harmful interactions significantly.
The new system uses both technology and human review. Computer programs identify potentially harmful comments first. Then, TikTok’s safety team checks these automatically hidden comments. This team confirms if the comment truly violates the rules. Comments that break the rules stay hidden. Comments that are okay might be shown again.
TikTok admits its systems aren’t perfect. The company encourages users to report any comments they believe are harmful. This reporting helps TikTok improve its filters over time. Users can also control who comments on their videos through privacy settings.

These updated comment rules are active now in several countries. TikTok plans to expand them worldwide in the coming weeks. The company believes this is a necessary step. It wants people to feel comfortable expressing themselves creatively without facing abuse. TikTok expects these measures to foster a more respectful environment across the platform.
