The content available on TikTok is getting out of hand . The popularity that the platform has reached has caused the amount of +18 content that can be found on TikTok to increase, which makes it increasingly dangerous for the little ones.
Well, the TikTok team is already working to provide better tools that allow users to filter the content they are exposed to. In fact, its developers have already revealed the first images of what will be the new “Content levels” system and the filter for words or hashtags . Next, we tell you the details of these novelties that will reach the platform.
TikTok will let you filter the content you don’t want to see
In its official news blog , TikTok has revealed the “Content Levels” system that will arrive in the coming weeks on the social network. This will be a tool that allows you to classify the content both by categories and by age . In this way, it will be possible to restrict the viewing of certain videos for users who do not meet the minimum age established.
It is necessary to remember that TikTok already has a parental control tool and that content +18 is prohibited on the platform. However, this “Content Levels” rating is intended to filter out videos that involve mature, complex topics , or display images intended for older audiences.
This includes sexually suggestive content, violence, or frightening images . Additionally, the social network will require creators or TikTokers to categorize their content according to these levels.
Finally, another of the new things that will come to TikTok is a function so that users can block words and hashtags. This tool will be available in the “For you” section and with it you will have the possibility to manually filter the videos that the platform recommends , as you can see in the image above.
For now, none of these features are active on TikTok, as they are still in the testing phase. It is expected that they will officially arrive in the coming weeks to make the social network a much safer place for everyone.
