What is TikTok?
TikTok is a video sharing social network.
TikTok is a video sharing social network where users share videos of 3 to 15 seconds or short looping videos of 3 to 60 seconds.
TikTok is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, and due to privacy concerns, there are users deleting the TikTok app. TikTok is not available in China, where there is a similar app just for that country.
To keep young people safe, this year TikTok partnered with Internet Matters. Internet Matters educate families about the importance of digital wellbeing and address common challenges such as peer pressure online.
TikTok is mainly used for entertainment and not for news or politics. In October 2019, TikTok forbided political ads on the platform. Blake Chandlee, Vice President of Global Business Solutions at TikTok, wrote that “the nature of paid political ads is not something TikTok believes fits the TikTok platform experience.”
