TikTok has named a group of US experts in technology, policy and mental health to form a new content advisory council as it seeks to shape moderation policies amid concerns by some US lawmakers that the viral video app censors content on behalf of the Chinese government.
The council will meet the company’s US executives later this month to discuss platform integrity, including policies designed to fight misinformation and election interference. On Monday TikTok said it would complete the transfer of the app's content moderation team to locations outside China “within a few weeks”.
