When this update is distributed, users will be warned to share a video that has not been verified. This warning will appear if the platform’s internal fact-checking system was unable to rate the video. Despite the warning, it will still be possible to share such videos. TikTok will also notify the creators of such videos that the content they posted has not passed the validation check.

The developers believe that the new feature will give people time to ” take a break and think about their next step before they decide to” cancel “or” share anyway “this or that video .” The company said that during the function’s testing phase, the frequency of sharing unconfirmed videos was reduced by 24%.

It is worth noting that TikTok is quite aggressive in the process of combating disinformation on the platform. Among other things, the social network works with several third-party organizations to check the facts. It is possible to remove a significant part of the videos with false information. However, it is challenging to track all published records in this way, so the developers continue to take new steps to combat disinformation.
