TikTok recently hosted a star-studded event in Nepal as part of its Safety Ambassadors Programme, aimed at raising awareness about digital safety. With over 1 billion monthly active users globally, TikTok continues to prioritize user protection and safety, and the #SaferTogether campaign in Nepal is a step forward in this mission.
The event featured a panel discussion with some of Nepal’s most prominent content creators, including Oshin Sitaula, Parakram Rana, Manjita Manandhar (aka My Darling Food), Suhant Pradhan, Rastra Bimochan Timalsena, and Shree Pandey. They addressed important issues surrounding digital safety, such as misinformation, harassment, cyberbullying, and online scams, while promoting responsible internet use and safe content creation. The discussion was held before a full-house audience comprising creators and journalists.
During the event, guests received valuable tips and guidelines on becoming successful content creators, with a Q&A session offering deeper insights into the challenges of content creation.
As part of TikTok’s ongoing commitment to creating a safe and welcoming platform, the #SaferTogether campaign emphasizes how users can take advantage of the app’s in-built safety features. TikTok’s Safety Centre, a centralized hub for safety updates, provides the latest information on the platform’s safety measures. The Safety Centre includes guides such as the New User Safety Guide, Guide for Parents, resources on maintaining safety, and a thorough Privacy Guide. It is regularly updated to ensure that the platform is providing users with the best tools for safety.
TikTok’s Community Guidelines ensure moderation of inappropriate content and behavior. The platform operates with zero tolerance for harmful content that promotes violence or violates community standards. This approach reinforces TikTok’s commitment to the safety and well-being of its users.
The Safety Ambassadors Programme highlights TikTok’s dedication to improving digital safety in Nepal and combating the ongoing challenges of online and offline user safety. The initiative also serves as a reminder of TikTok’s proactive efforts to educate users on digital safety, the dangers of misinformation, and the importance of authentic content.
