Beijing - Sana
TikTok, owned by the Chinese ByteDance Group, has proposed a global alliance between social media companies in an attempt to curb the growing criticism these companies face over privacy issues and the harmful content of the videos and posts presented on their platforms.
"We have sent letters to nine companies about a memorandum of understanding for joint supervision of content," Reuters quoted TikTok as saying, adding that "it is possible to enhance the individual efforts of social media companies to review the content of videos and posts through a formal partnership."
The TikTok platform indicated that it deleted more than 104 million videos in the first half of this year for violating the platform's laws, indicating that it had identified and removed 96.4 percent of these videos before reporting them.
The Tik Tok proposal comes at a time of escalating US hostile measures against it and other Chinese companies, as the US Commerce Department announced a few days ago that it would ban the downloading of Tik Tok and WeChat in the United States.
