💡💬 An inspiring day at the #TikTok Safety Summit in Berlin last week! Together with experts in the fields of teen safety, data protection, and media literacy, we discussed ways to combine digital safety and participation. Thank you for the valuable insights and perspectives. 🤝✨
For me it all began with seeing this picture of the Hamas terrorists randomly killing people in the streets of Sderot in the early morning of Oct 7, 2023 - the terrible realisation that something evil and huge was happening.
In memory of all those murdered that day.
There are many misperceptions about TikTok. One is around data.
We asked leading cybersecurity firm @NCCGroupplc to independently assess what data the TikTok app collects in Europe

STATEMENT FROM TIKTOK:
In agreement with our service providers, TikTok is in the process of restoring service. We thank President Trump for providing the necessary clarity and assurance to our service providers that they will face no penalties providing TikTok to over 170 million Americans and allowing over 7 million small businesses to thrive.
It’s a strong stand for the First Amendment and against arbitrary censorship. We will work with President Trump on a long-term solution that keeps TikTok in the United States.

Story from @NYT on our ongoing safety efforts during 2024 elections:
"Most major social media companies have scaled back safeguards around misinformation and downsized teams working on elections. Mr. Mahadevan, whose MediaWise group promotes media literacy across social platforms, said that TikTok stands out for leaning into such efforts at this time."
"TikTok said in a release that its Elections Center — a landing page that the app prompts users to visit when they search for election-related terms or watch videos tied to the race — has been visited more than seven million times since it was introduced in January. TikTok developed the page in conjunction with Democracy Works, a nonpartisan nonprofit that helps voters find accurate information online."

"Ist Tiktok schuld an unliebsamen Wahlergebnissen – oder die herrschende Politik? Das 14. Hamburger Mediensymposium ordnet diese und weitere Fragen wohltuend besonnen ein. Und erklärt, warum Meinungsfreiheit nicht wie ein Muskel funktioniert."
