TikTok said Tuesday that it joined the European Commission’s Code of Conduct on Countering Illegal Hate Speech Online, which was introduced in May 2016 by the EC, Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter and YouTube.
The non-binding agreement marked a promise by those tech companies to speed the removal of illegal content and give users of their services more options to report violations such as hate speech.
Other tech companies that have joined since its inception include Dailymotion, Instagram, Jeuxvideo and Snapchat.
