These guidelines address misinformation and fake profiles and are intended to promote safety among the community. TikTok also announced new content moderation guidelines. By default, a user can only see videos from accounts they follow. If a user wants to view a video that is not shared by others, they must first save it to their saved section.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_easy_to_watch\"><\/span>It&#8217;s easy to watch<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To watch a video on TikTok, you must first enable the &#8220;Watch History&#8221; feature. To enable this feature, open the mobile app and tap on &#8220;Profile.&#8221; Next, tap on &#8220;Settings&#8221; in the upper right corner. On the watch history section, toggle the &#8220;On&#8221; and &#8220;Off&#8221; toggles. Then, tap &#8220;Close&#8221; to exit the settings dialog. From here, you can view the video history for the last seven days. Once you&#8217;ve done this, you can go back to the Watch History section at any time and view your past seven days&#8217; videos.<\/p>\n<p>Another benefit of the app is that it&#8217;s easy to watch. Videos have a much greater impact than text or audio. It&#8217;s far easier to entertain people than text or audio. Videos are short and simple to create. Using TikTok is quick and easy, and anyone can post videos of any genre. To watch a TikTok, all you need to do is click the tiktok button, select the video you want to watch and hit &#8220;submit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_a_social_network_for_kids\"><\/span>It&#8217;s a social network for kids<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While there are many positive aspects of the TikTok app, it is important to remember that children are vulnerable to online predators, especially on the site&#8217;s &#8220;Duets&#8221; feature. Duets is a way to remix a user&#8217;s video, lip-synch, or dance alongside them. Recently, BuzzFeed News reported on sexual predators using TikTok to send explicit messages to young creators. Regardless of your child&#8217;s age, it is easy to find inappropriate content on TikTok.<\/p>\n<p>The content on TikTok is primarily made up of memes and pop culture references. Teens are encouraged to post videos of themselves performing and collaborating with their friends. They are also allowed to edit their videos and add text, graphics, music, filters, captions, and even hashtags. While parents may feel uncomfortable sharing embarrassing videos of their children, it can also serve as a valuable way to bond with their kids.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_a_Trojan_horse_for_the_Chinese_Communist_Party\"><\/span>It&#8217;s a Trojan horse for the Chinese Communist Party<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is using an app known as TikTok to monitor American citizens. This appears harmless on the surface, but is a Trojan Horse for mass surveillance. It harvests Americans&#8217; biometric and facial recognition data, keystrokes, and passwords. It has also made a call to the world&#8217;s largest tech companies to make their data publicly available.<\/p>\n<p>Because of its widespread popularity and the fact that it&#8217;s a very targeted media platform, TikTok is an excellent tool for the Chinese Communist Party. However, its ability to sow discord and inject disinformation into the dialogue is troubling. Previously, Russian bots have amplified controversies on social media. This is particularly troubling because the government has no conscience.<\/p>\n<p>The CCP imposes numerous national security laws. The 2017 National Intelligence Law and the 2014 Counter-Espionage Law both provide extensive access opportunities for the CCP. If TikTok allows this, it risks giving Chinese intelligence agencies access to its users&#8217; personal information, even if it is stored overseas. It also wants to have control over the data it holds in the U.S.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_a_fast_food_restaurant\"><\/span>It&#8217;s a fast food restaurant<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A TikTok account has become a viral sensation by turning a fast food restaurant into a gourmet one. The videos, which have amassed over 150,000 followers, show chefs making ordinary meals into delicious gourmet dishes. Fast food is a perfect vehicle to display creativity, and a Panda Express takeout can easily be turned into a paella. This trend of food creation has gained a lot of attention, even in the fast food industry.<\/p>\n<p>Despite their apparent success, a restaurant worker has taken to TikTok to share some of his secrets in the kitchen. One Dunkin&#8217; Donuts employee has posted two videos that detail how the chain makes various menu items, including its famous avocado toast. The videos have accumulated more than six million views. The creator of the videos asks to remain anonymous, but says that the video is about his or her experiences working at the restaurant.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DYMmHIOD7wA\" height=\"213\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"382\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TikTok Updates Community Guidelines and Content Moderation Guidelines In January of 2020, TikTok updated its Community Guidelines.
