TikTok has decided to run a campaign against online harassment during the month of June by launching #CreateKindness, according to a statement from the social network.
He has therefore set up several short videos on the “Discover” page of the platform in order to tell real stories around this issue.
"Bullying deteriorates the trust environment on which the application is based and hurts the self-esteem of users," explains a company official.
“This is why […] we are investing in measures that help TikTok remain a place where kindness and compassion thrive,” he adds.
Under fire from critics
TikTok users can thus participate in this initiative in order to share their own experiences.
The social network has recently had to respond to many criticisms concerning in particular the fact that it can represent a danger for minors by being exposed to inappropriate content, specifies

.
The European Commission in particular pinned him down on this subject by giving him a month to respond to these accusations.
The platform is also being sued for negligence in protecting the privacy of minors, adds the media.
