TikTok is preparing a slew of initiatives to defuse growing complaints that antisemitism and other hate speech has proliferated in videos about the Hamas-Israel war.
The ByteDance-owned app is planning a social media campaign this month called “Swipe Out Hate” that will involve creators to spread its message, according to a person with knowledge of its plans. It is also working to open up its research application programming interface, a massive trove of information on user activity, to civil society groups, a spokesperson confirmed. Groups such as the Anti-Defamation League have been pushing for that access. And TikTok has also established a taskforce to tackle discriminatory posts. The efforts haven’t been previously reported.
