Entertainment Report :
TikTok has recently announced the launch of its Safety Ambassadors Programme, as a part of its goal to foster a safe and welcoming platform for its vibrant, diverse communities. It offers a range of safety and
privacy controls to protect users, with even stronger proactive protections to help keep teens safe. This includes making accounts belonging to those under the age of 16
private by default, reserving features like Direct Messaging to people 16 and older, and enabling parents to guide their teen’s TikTok presence with Family Pairing.
Actor-singer Tahsan Khan and popular film actor Dilara Hanif Purnima, have joined forces with TikTok to feature in-app campaigns. The ambassadors’ video campaigns, released on a bi-monthly basis, will cover a range of educational topics, including digital wellbeing, trust, and safety, as well as key features like Family Pairing mode, which allows parents and teens
to customise their safety settings based on individual needs. The first campaign under this programme is the launch of Family Pairing mode, announced and narrated by Tahsan and Purnima, which went live on Thursday with #tiktokfamily. This feature aims to provide a greater parental control over their children’s activities on TikTok, making it easier for parents to
feel comfortable with their children using TikTok. While talking in this regard Tahsan Khan said, “I am delighted to see TikTok’s commitments in helping facilitate important conversations within families about the responsible navigation of digital platforms. Online safety and digital
wellbeing is a shared responsibility and we all must play our parts. I am honoured to play mine in collaborating with this timely and essential campaign.”
