TikTok is rolling out a new strikes-based system for account suspensions and penalties, in order to weed out repeat offenders in the app, as opposed to taking action on each individual case.
Which, according to TikTok, is a common problem:
“Repeat violators tend to follow a pattern – our analysis has found that almost 90% violate using the same feature consistently, and over 75% violate the same policy category repeatedly.”
In order to impose stronger penalties, and provide more protection for users, TikTok’s new system will see users penalized based on their cumulative actions.
“Under the new system, if someone posts content that violates one of our Community Guidelines, the account will accrue a strike as the content is removed. If an account meets the threshold of strikes within either a product feature (i.e. Comments, LIVE) or policy (i.e. Bullying and Harassment), it will be permanently banned.”
TikTok says that its policy thresholds will vary depending on a violation’s potential to cause harm to our community members. Read More…
