When inappropriate content appears on TikTok, there are two ways to remove it from the feed: indicate that you are not interested or report the video. In the second option, the report is sent to the social network for analysis and may result in the deletion of the post or even the banning of the account responsible for it.
When creating a report through the app, it is necessary to explain why it allegedly violates the social network’s community guidelines. This can include instances of harassment and bullying, hate speech, dangerous activities, exposure of minors and spam, among others.
What happens after reporting a video on TikTok?
Content will be reviewed by the TikTok Trust and Safety team, based on the app’s community guidelines. If the violation is proven, the social network can remove the video from the “For You” feed, limiting its reach only to followers or visitors of the profile that published it, or delete it completely.
According to the rules of the network, the “For You” page must include videos that respect the community’s safety standards. Thus, some content that is not eligible for the personalized recommendations screen may be removed even without reporting other users.
What happens to the account you posted?
After analysis, TikTok sends a notification about what happened to the account responsible for the reported video. The message informs that the video has been removed and explains the reason, but there is a space to appeal the decision.
Notices about guideline violations expire after 90 days. If the user does not commit other infractions in the period, the warning ceases to be a factor for banning the account.
In what situations can TikTok ban a profile?
The social network counts how many times an account has been reported and violated the terms of the platform. When the profile reaches a limit of warnings, it can be banned from the social network — however, TikTok itself does not inform you what this maximum number of warnings is in its terms and conditions of use, it only sends a message to inform you that it is about to receive the warning. punishment.
When a user repeatedly commits infractions in a single function of the platform, such as the comment box or direct messages, he may lose access to that feature. It is possible to understand in detail how the banning process works.
