00:00 TikTok takes down 43 videos spreading health-related disinformation, and terminated accounts found
00:07 propagating this content.
00:09 This after a Rappler investigative story shows TikTok is an emerging marketplace for false
00:14 medical information and unverified health products.
00:18 The Rappler story shows how health-related videos containing exaggerated or downright
00:22 false claims have flooded TikTok since the platform started its TikTok shop in 2022.
00:29 Other researchers find TikTok's report feature offers a limited selection of violations,
00:34 making it difficult to push for takedowns of false health claims.
00:38 But TikTok assures it continues to invest heavily in training tech and human moderators
00:42 to detect, review and remove harmful content.
00:46 TikTok also asks users to report violations if they come across harmful content on the
00:50 platform.
