TikTok Deletes 104 Million+ Videos in the First Half for Violating Guidelines
In a transparency report, TikTok stated, The video sharing app began fact-checking programs in the first half of the 2020 to check content related to the novel coronavirus and US elections. The report appears at a time when China’s ByteDance has been struggling to avoid a crackdown on its app after the US Commerce Department announced that it would block new downloads and updates to the app. US authorities had expressed fears and concerns that personal data of as many as 100 million+ Americans that were using the app was being shared with the China’s Communist Party government. The company has told that it had received 1,768 requests for user data, with 290, or 16.4%, of those from US law enforcement agencies. To save the company from further bans, ByteDance must put in place such confidence building measures with all stakeholders for success of its video-sharing app. Check out?
