Shortly after Twitter announced its Dislike button, it seems like TikTok has also decided to jump on the same bandwagon. This is confirmed by the social network itself, making it clear that at the moment this feature is at the testing stage.
Through a publication on its official blog, the company included a dislike button in their community guidelineswhich details some of the ways TikTok enforces security policies on its platform.
At this point, the company hasn’t explained how the dislike button will work in the app. However, some people have posted images in which it is already available to them. As you can see this feature will not be used to rate the videos themselves; but comments inside them. Something very similar to what Twitter did with the same button in their app.
There is no finish line when it comes to keeping people safe, and our latest report and ongoing safety improvements reflect our continued commitment to the safety and well-being of our community. We look forward to sharing more information about our ongoing work to secure our platform.

Of course, TikTok has clarified that neither commenters nor other users will know the number of “I don’t like” handed out. In fact, screenshots uploaded to Twitter show that the number of likes continues to growwhich does not happen with the new function.
TikTok wants to support healthy coexistence in its app
“Dislike” has long been a subject of controversy. In fact, a few months ago YouTube decided to remove the counter I do not like in all videos on your platform. Thus, the only ones with access to the amount are the video creators and any other. The move was widely criticized by creators and consumers alike, but the waters seem to have calmed down.
However, in the case of TikTok, it seems that this feature is much more limited. In fact, it looks like a feature that instead of helping users to sabotage or harass a certain person, it achieves to inform the moderators platforms about content that may be harmful or inappropriate for the rest of the people in the app.
Function also used to classify comments in an application. It will also give creators more control over which ones are more visible than others.
We’ve begun testing a way for users to identify comments they find inappropriate or inappropriate. This community input will add a number of factors we already use to help keep the comments section always up to date and a place for genuine interaction.
In order not to create confusion among members of the community or demoralize the creators, only the person who “didn’t like” the comment will be able to see that he made it.
