Tackling misinformation about Israel conflict videos on Tiktok

The EU introduced new laws in August 2023 which regulate the kind of content that is allowed online. The Digital Services Act  requires so-called very large online platforms  those with over 45 million EU users to proactively remove “illegal content”, and show they have taken measures to do so if requested. TikTok, which is owned by Chinese firm ByteDance, listed actions it said it had taken on its website to combat misinformation and hateful content. It said it had created a command centre, enhanced its automated detection systems to remove graphic and violent content, and added more moderators who speak Arabic and Hebrew.
