Tech Advocacy Groups Push TikTok to Stop Hate Speech, Extremism

A coalition of tech advocacy and human rights groups is urging TikTok to crack down on the spread of hate speech and extremism after a recent report detailed the reach of such content on the platform. More than a dozen groups signed on to a letter sent to top TikTok executives, calling for the platform take “substantive action” against hate speech and extremism, citing a report released by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) last week that outlined the breadth of the harmful content on the video-sharing app.
