TikTok Transparency Forum: Learn about our approach to safety and security
At TikTok, we strive to be transparent and accountable to our users and you, the brands, agencies and partners we work with. As part of our mission to continuously improve our safety efforts, we started the Transparency Forum – an event series where we discuss updates and our tangible progress in making TikTok the safest place for creative self-expression.
