KARACHI: The video-sharing app TikTok will host a series of workshops across Pakistan under an initiative launched on Friday to help creators better understand its community guidelines, the company said in a statement.

It said that as part of its ongoing commitment to the safety and well-being of its community, this campaign underscored TikTok’s efforts to foster a safe and vibrant environment for its users while encouraging responsible content creation practices and cultivating a safer digital space.

TikTok said its community guidelines served as a comprehensive framework that outlined the rules and standards governing the platform’s usage.

These guidelines were also designed to adapt to emerging trends and potential hazards, enabling the platform to effectively mitigate risks associated with evolving online behaviours, it said.

The most recent updates, effective since April 21 of this year, were refreshed in consultation with over 100 organisations across the globe and members of the TikTok community.

The app is also partnering with some of Pakistan’s most popular content creators, who will create content and help drive awareness of the platform’s community guidelines.
