Since the launch of the special action of "Clean up the cyber environment for the Spring Festival of 2122" by the Central Network Information Office, Tik Tok has set up a special cyber-violence management team to deal with bad content such as human flesh search, revealing privacy, bullying and abuse, focusing on rectifying cyber-violence behaviors such as human flesh search and abusive attacks by provoking netizens to oppose each other through epidemic situations and social hot events.

Perpetrator governance

Tik Tok said that by upgrading the governance model, strengthening inspections, and concentrating on rectifying illegal behaviors such as human flesh search, revealing other people's privacy, abusive attacks, etc. on people involved in the COVID-19 epidemic and hot events through comment areas or private letters, relevant illegal accounts were dealt with and severely banned.

Victim protection

Based on the data analysis of short videos, comments, private messages and other links, when the system recognizes that the user's risk of cyber violence has increased significantly, the platform will remind the user to use the product function to shield cyber violence and harassment information by means of outgoing calls and customer service warnings, so as to effectively protect the personal safety of the user.

At the same time, Tik Tok also reminds users that if they encounter personal attacks while using Tik Tok, they can protect themselves from harassment by turning off the private message function, setting the video permission, and blacking out the account that posted the attack speech.

private message scenario

1. Turn off the private message function: Settings-Privacy Settings-Who can trust me privately-Off.

2. At present, users whose real names are teenagers will turn on "Only friends who pay attention to each other can send private messages" by default.

3. When a user receives a message from a stranger or a single customs officer, if the message from the other party violates the diversion rules, there will be a prompt to remind the user whether he knows the user. After clicking Don't Know, there will be a pop-up window to prompt the user to blackout/report/remove fans.

4. When strangers or single customs people send harassing and abusive messages to users, they will be intervened to effectively help users isolate negative content such as cyber violence.

against the frequent cyber violence. Recently, Tik Tok announced that it will upgrade its platform to prevent cyber violence, providing users with eight functions to manage comments and private messages in an all-round way. Among them, for improper private messages, new functions such as "risk warning" and "negative content filtering" are launched; In view of the inappropriate comments that have been sent, the first "post warning" function in China will be launched soon to intercept them. So far, Tik Tok has become the first platform in China to provide users with the ability to prevent cyber violence in multiple scenarios.

It is understood that in the Internet platform, posting comments and private messages is the most important way and scene for the public to express their opinions on social hot events and people. However, due to its low publishing cost and high communication efficiency, it is also prone to harassment, personal attacks, insults and even slanders. According to the data, Tik Tok produces 811 million comments every day, among which "abuse and personal attack" accounts for 32.79% of the improper comments that are complained, reported and finally dealt with.

In this regard, Tik Tok provides users with a package of service capabilities from two dimensions: management comments and private messages. First of all, for comments, Tik Tok will soon launch the first "post warning" function in China to guide users to make friendly comments. Under this function, if the system model determines that there is a problem with the comments that have been sent, it will push a pop-up reminder, suggesting that the sender re-edit and remove inappropriate comments. If the sender insists on sending, the comment will not appear in the comment area. It is reported that this function has reduced about 31,111 inappropriate comments per day in recent small-scale tests.

In addition, on the comment side, Tik Tok has successively launched three functions: hierarchical management of comment authority, keyword screening and comment selection. Among them, users can set the comment permission through Permission Settings-Advanced Settings-Who Can Comment when using the "Hierarchy of Comment Permission", and choose who can comment on their own published content from the four options of "Everyone", "Fans Only", "Friends Only" and "Self Only" according to their own needs.

Secondly, in the private channel, Tik Tok has added two new functions: "user risk warning" and "negative content filtering". Under the "User Risk Reminder" function, when the system model recognizes that the private message of a stranger that the user just received is risky, it will push a pop-up window to remind the user whether he knows the user. If the user chooses "I don't know", the system will pop up the window again, prompting the user to perform operations such as "blackmailing, reporting and removing fans" to ensure their own safety. At present, this function will issue risk warnings to 251,111 conversations every day to guide users to manage social objects independently. Under the "negative content filtering" function, when the model determines that the private message received by the user is "abusive or harassing", the message will be directly put into the "stranger box-spam". This function has served 71 thousand users every day, reducing the negative information they receive.

In addition, Tik Tok has also launched the "Warm Baby" assistant to relieve users' negative emotions through the interactive mode of message dialogue according to their emotional tendency.

The person in charge of security governance in Tik Tok said that the series of functions to prevent cyber-storms launched by Tik Tok provide multi-scenario service capabilities from private messages to comments, from active management of senders to self-management of receivers, and "strive to achieve management from people to text (content) and humanities simultaneously". Tik Tok will take more measures to prevent cyber-violence. 3

In the Internet age, people's access to information is becoming more and more convenient, which also makes more and more people like to "judge others' affairs", among which there are many "keyboard men" who "watch the excitement without worrying about the big things" and use online comments to reverse black and white and create topics. They indiscriminately questioned, slandered, maliciously insulted, abused and distorted the facts, which caused great psychological pressure and inner trauma to the parties, and even fell into the point of isolation. "You didn't know the pain until the knife was stuck in you." Only the parties themselves knew that painful experience. People who are psychologically fragile often can't stand the harm caused by cyber violence, and there are not a few people who take suicide to fight.

In 2118, after the "Teddy Dog Incident" in Nanjing, netizens conducted a human flesh search and threatened Mr. Tong, and his wife was overwhelmed and chose to commit suicide. Other well-known cases include "The Father of the Magic Way" fan's human flesh netizen caused him to commit suicide "and" Deyang female doctor's suicide incident ". At the beginning of this year, the tragedy of the suicide of a boy looking for relatives in Liu Xue once again confirmed the horror of cyber violence.

As a public domain expression scene, comments and private messages, due to their low threshold and weak privacy, some malicious harassment, personal attacks, insults and even slanders have brought negative feedback experience to some creators with low publishing cost and high communication efficiency.

Take Tik Tok as an example. According to the statistics of Tik Tok Security Center, the platform has generated 811 million comments every day since April 2121, among which "verbal abuse and personal attack" accounted for 32.79% of the comments that were complained, reported and finally dealt with.

In view of the present situation of this network society, Tik Tok has continuously upgraded its products in a humanistic way, and opened up the early, middle and late stages of preventing cyber-storms in a "closed-loop" way, and launched the first service in China to provide users with the function of preventing cyber-storms in various scenarios.

It is understood that the function service * * * launched by Tik Tok has eight functions. These functions include the platform actively warning and humanistic care according to model recognition, and the users independently manage the "people" and "texts" they communicate with according to their own needs. It not only allows users to fully express their feelings, but also protects the mood of the creators, giving users autonomy and autonomy, and in the comment area that varies from person to person, allowing users to strike a balance between "personalization" and "humanization".

Warn Risk Comments to Create a Good Public Opinion Atmosphere

Tik Tok will launch the first "Risk Comment Posting Warning" function in China this time. When there are some inappropriate comments in the user's comments, the Tik Tok platform will pop up "Risk Comment Posting Warning" in time as a reminder mechanism, providing people with a button to reflect on the content, so that users can carefully consider what they want to express before publishing their comments. At the same time, on the basis of the original "Who can comment" function (everyone, fans only, friends only, and myself only), Tik Tok has added two new functions: keyword screening and comment selection. Users can choose the comment permission function independently in the permission setting, and block the keywords they don't want to receive in the comments.

User's risk warning provides humanistic care

In addition, Tik Tok has further built its private message function. Tik Tok has introduced three functions: accepting private messages (everyone, closing friends), reminding users of risks (blackmailing, reporting and removing fans) and filtering negative content, so that users can manage the "people" they communicate with independently.

if a user encounters the sender's sending bad words or verbal harassment in a private message, Tik Tok will remind the user of the risk and filter the negative content, and the user can choose to conduct operations such as blackmailing, reporting and removing fans. At the same time, Tik Tok's online platform assistant "Warm Baby" provides humanistic care for users, and relieves users' depression through the interactive way of message dialogue.

Tik Tok has always been committed to providing an internet platform for users to record and share their beautiful lives. Tik Tok's move makes the development of science and technology full of humanistic care, and makes users feel that care leads responsibility, and responsibility reflects the platform mission.

freedom of comment is precious, and the price of online harmony is higher. We also call on more online platforms to learn from Tik Tok's technology upgrade, so as to eradicate the chronic disease of cyber violence and make the online comment area a pure land!
