The Dhaka Times Desk Video sharing social networking platform TikTok has warned its users about content that incites violence against women.
TikTok authorities have also taken action against some users for publishing provocative content.
The local office of the platform issued such a warning in a statement after the content of a TikTok user named Faizal Siddiqui in India's Maharashtra was accused of inciting violence against women.
Safe and positive promotion is our main goal, the statement said. Our Code of Conduct and Guidelines clearly state do's and don'ts. We hope that TikTok users will follow the guidelines.
Stating that action has been taken against several violative content over the past few days, the statement further said that along with the removal of the content in question, the respective user accounts have also been suspended. If necessary, legal recourse will also be taken to prevent abuse of the TikTok India platform.
In the video made by Faizal Siddiqui, it can be seen that there is a person inciting the torture of a woman under the guise of a 'joke'.
The National Commission for Women of India sent a letter to TikTok protesting this. There was also a demand to remove the controversial content. The protest letter said, 'The disputed video appears to encourage violence against women. Besides, a misogynistic attitude has emerged in it.'
In this controversy, anti-Tiktak criticism started on social media in India. The news media also reported that TikTok's standard has fallen below 3 in some indicators.
Note that the use of social media is arbitrary not only in India but also in our country. Everyone needs to be more careful in using them.
