TikTok axes thousands of videos in Australia over ‘medical misinformation’

TikTok is on a rampage in Australia removing hundreds of videos that it considers to be medical misinformation

This comes as part of the social media app’s efforts to prevent fake news particularly in relation to COVID-19, vaccine effectivity and government restrictions.

Throughout 2021 TikTok removed 12,582 videos.

The company cites its commitment to stopping the spread of misinformation and disinformation in Australia as part of the Digital Industry Group’s voluntary code of practice.

These restrictions are particularly strict within Australia with TikTok required to publish transparency reports detailing its work in following the code of conduct.

The media giant says they “will continue to address misinformation by investing heavily in technology and review teams, introducing in-app features, promoting trusted information from authoritative sources and developing policies to prevent its spread”.
