TikTok has announced that it is developing a tool that allows users to dislike specific comments on videos. Individuals can flag remarks they feel “irrelevant or inappropriate” without their disapproval being seen to others, according to a TikTok blog article on safety and community guidelines enforcement. Earlier this year, some users noticed multiple versions of the choice.
“This community feedback will complement the existing set of variables that help us keep the comment section interesting and a place for true discussion,” TikTok explains.
Users of TikTok may already disklike videos to let the app know they don’t care for the content. In addition to the option to report a remark for violating community guidelines, the comment dislike button appears to be present.
The business also claims it’s experimenting with sending reminders to creators who receive a lot of critical comments about capabilities like comment filtering and bulk ban and delete. According to TikTok, decisions on whether to fully implement the feature will be made in the following weeks.
TikTok says it eliminated over 85 million videos for infractions between October and December 2021, accounting for nearly 1% of all videos uploaded to the platform, according to today’s transparency report.
