TikTok to introduce warnings on content to help tackle misinformation

Users watching videos will see a banner near the top of the feed if the content has not been validated

TikTok is to feature banner warnings on suspect content in a bid to dissuade users from sharing videos featuring misinformation.

Its new tool, which will launch in the UK on 22 February, is one of the first from a major social platform to target not just content that has been shown to be false, but also that has not, or cannot, be conclusively proved to be true.
