TikTok Partners with Internet Matters to Promote Online Safety

TikTok has partnered with Internet Matters, a non-profit organization that empowers parents and caregivers to protect young people in the digital world. Together, TikTok and Internet Matters will educate families about the importance of digital well-being and address common challenges such as online peer pressure.

Trust and internet safety are top priorities for TikTok, and the company is continuously investing in the development of new in-app features and measures to promote a safe and positive online community. TikTok is also committed to providing practical tools for parents, schools, and users to enjoy the online environment safely.

This partnership with Internet Matters follows TikTok's Safer Internet Day initiative, #BetterMeBetterInternet, which encouraged the global community to work together in creating a safer internet. TikTok has also launched a video series called 'You're in Control' to raise awareness among users about in-app safety and privacy settings. These efforts aim to empower users to customize and manage their online presence.

By collaborating with Internet Matters, TikTok will continue to prioritize support for its global community and provide resources to create a positive and safe environment where everyone feels inspired to share their creativity and expression.
