In a statement from TikTok’s parent company, the company stated that it was reviewing the review process to ensure compliance with all relevant laws. TikTok has said that it will review its content guidelines as part of this review process, and that they have stopped using features such as automated labeling of user content and automatic ranking systems for certain types of content.
TikTok’s ban is based on concerns raised by a number of groups within the US tech industry, including those who argue that the app has been contributing to a rise in hate speech and misinformation online. They say that TikTok’s algorithms may have contributed to the spread of these types of content, leading to decreased trust in social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.
The ban is also seen as a step towards holding TikTok accountable for its actions, especially in light of the company’s recent decision to remove Facebook from its app store.
The ban comes at a time when TikTok has become increasingly popular among younger users in the US. According to data from the Better Bureau, TikTok has more than 130 million active monthly users worldwide, and more than half of them are under 18 years old.
The ban has been met with criticism from many of TikTok’s original creators, who say that the app has been making false accusations of bias against specific demographics or historical events. Some have called for TikTok to be reversed and to its users.
