“Esto lo there en ticktok.” How many times that sentence precedes or follows some of the Loubades (or wild) you have heard? I can assure you that they are not few. Yes, Social networks are not just easy entertainmentThey can also be a mine of knowledge, but only if you follow the right people.
In most cases, Networks are an amusement park for disinformationlies, manipulation, diffusion of urban legends without any sense and much more. This led some companies to act on the matter and bytedance has just added to the list. Tiktok now has noticed feet to fight disinformationA strategy copied to Elon Musk.
In an attempt to stop the thousands of Bulos and the disinformation that camp at ease in Tiktok, Bytedance has decided to add a new functionality to the application. Is called “Piece notes” (notes on the foot) Forks A strategy that uses the community verification.
As for the notes of the community in X, in which the notes are clearly inspired, Any Tiktok user can now add a size to the videos which is found on the social network for:
- Define a topic or a statement present in the publication.
- Add contextBecause the publication was taken by it to manipulate or disinform or because it is necessary to understand it.
- Explains a point in the video that can have different interpretationsWith the aim of dissipating doubts.
As in X, even users who create pointed notes on Tiktok will be able to do it connection publications that act as a source of what is explained in the note. These connected publications can have practically any origin, but it is recommended to be Scientific character, well -organized and documented articlesor publications of recognized sites such as Wikipedia.
Anyway, Tiktok will use a consent -based classification system To determine what foodnote shows. What is that system? Very simple: The notes that the greatest number of users consider useful are those that will be shown Next to the publication.
Also, Bytedance says so They will use a combined moderation system To validate those notes on the foot do not violate the rules of the platform or that are even worse on information level. On the one hand, they will use automated moderation as in videos; On the other, they will rely on human moderation to reach it (both users and employees). In the event that some foot notes violated the rules, it will be eliminated.
When and where will the notes at Tiktok’s feet be available?
Since it tends to be customary on many platforms, The first country to have Tiktok’s photos will be the United States. The company guarantees it It is an ideal market for testing this functionalitySince it is large enough to validate whether it works or not. However, we will not deny that this decision also arouses a suspicion.
The conflict between Tiktok and the United States is widely knownwhich even reached a complete ban on the platform for a couple of days. At the moment, Bytedance continues to manage Tiktok in the American countryBut it always remains between the sword and the wall, having to move very carefully.
That the foot notes are launched only in the United States can be Another way to get a little with the American government. Other? Yes, because it was recently revealed that Bytedance has planned to launch a different Tiktok app to continue working in that country. In addition, the company has said it, for now, They do not plan to launch this feature on the global market. They will evaluate it later, when they have the results of the tests, but it is not something they currently consider.
