Video sharing app Tik Tok builds teams to monitor local content

An app going viral in India is putting in place stringent measures to curb inappropriate content as policymakers tighten their noose on social media platforms.
 
Tik Tok, a video sharing app, is hiring content moderators in different languages to supplement artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms in weeding out objectionable posts.
 
The app, owned by Chinese internet major ByteDance, is working with the government on various concerns raised around content and safety of the users. A member of the legislative assembly in Tamil Nadu had recently said Tik Tok was allowing sharing of sexually-explicit and other objectionable content.
