TikTok took steps to make its platform safer for those who suffer from photosensitive epilepsy.
Director of product, trust and safety Joshua Goodman said in a blog post Tuesday that TikTok rolled out a feature a few months ago to warn creators when the videos they produce contain effects that could trigger photosensitive epilepsy, and the platform will take the next step in the coming weeks by adding protections on the user side.
When the update goes live, people about to view a video that contains potentially photosensitive content will receive a notification giving them the option to skip all similar videos in the future.
TikTok is working with epilepsy organizations in Canada, Europe, Japan, South Korea and the U.S.
