TikTok raises awareness around online bullying with #CreateKindness

People around the world come to TikTok to feel entertained and to express themselves creatively. The immense diversity of people and content on our platform is what makes Tiktok such a special place. From people outlining the sources of their unique qualities through the mosaic trend to sharing their customs and traditional food with #CultureChallenge. Last year, TikTok celebrated the creators, diversity, community, and culture on the platform. Then, this brought positivity and joy to life through the #ItStartsOnTikTok campaign. We are driven by our passion to maintain a welcoming environment for our global community. And, over the last year, we’ve introduced a range of features aimed at fostering kindness and preventing bullying. Today, we’re taking another step with the launch of #CreateKindness.

 

TikTok raises awareness around online bullying with #CreateKindness

#CreateKindness is a global campaign and a creative video series. This aims to raise awareness around online bullying and how we can all choose kindness.

Promoting awareness around bullying with #CreateKindness

At TikTok, we value the trust of our community and work hard to maintain it by cultivating an inclusive atmosphere. Bullying behavior damages the trust-based nature of the app by harming people’s confidence in themselves. We remain mindful that although in-app interactions may seem harmless to some. The impact of people’s online experiences doesn’t always disappear when they close the app. This becomes the reason why we greatly value the stories from our community about their experiences. And, why we invest in measures to help TikTok remain a place where kindness and compassion thrive.

As part of our ongoing commitment to promote online kindness, we’re launching on our @TikTokTips account an animated video series. This, then, tells the real and personal stories of six creator-animators whose distinct animation styles complement their diverse experiences. Through their videos, these talented creators offer perspectives on how to counter bullying. It shows the unintended impact this harmful behavior can have. And, remind us why it’s important that we work together to prevent it.
