TikTok has quickly become one of the most popular apps in the world. Not only young people but also people of other ages are actively using this social network. However, using TikTok doesn’t always leave a positive impression. Sometimes offensive comments may appear under your video.
The evolution of social media has led people to the point where it’s not necessary to control speech on the Internet. This leads to a spread of simple aggression and abuse rather than constructive criticism. Reading something like this under your TikTok videos isn’t fun. That’s why it will be a good idea to delete such comments.

According to the developers, any social network isn’t a place for violence and shocking shots. Each of your publications is checked by moderators. Therefore, the actual posting takes place time after you have uploaded your work to the server.
If the moderators find forbidden elements in your clip, the system will send a message with the notification “Forbidden to post”. Then it’s important to review the video, find the unacceptable frames and remove them or reshoot them.
