This time it's TikTok's turn.
The platform has indeed announced, in a press release, the introduction of a new method of monitoring and filtering comments on its application, reports

.
Concretely, this system will allow creators to activate a filter that will hide all the comments that will be posted on a video.
To become visible, these comments must be validated by the person who created the video in question.
This type of filter can be activated or not by the creators of videos on TikTok.
An alert message in the event of a derogatory comment
In addition to this new process, TikTok will add an alert message when a user is about to post a negative comment on content.
This alert will appear as a pop-up.
By means of a message, it will invite the user to think carefully about the comment he wishes to post.
At the same time, a reminder of the rules for using TikTok will be displayed in an attempt to avoid any form of online harassment on this platform.
