Social media platform TikTok has begun implementing its updated community guidelines, which include prohibiting videos with climate change misinformation. The new policy, which was announced last month, aims to prevent content that “undermines well-established scientific consensus” regarding the climate crisis from appearing on the app. While TikTok will still allow videos discussing climate change, it will start deleting any content that goes against scientific consensus. Users searching for climate information will be directed to “authoritative information” vetted by TikTok and the United Nations.
