To further illustrate and educate internet users on the various aspects of online safety, TikTok and the Cyber Peace Foundation launched eleven posters which will be distributed amongst an extensive list of schools and colleges pan India.

Commenting on this initiative, Purnendu Singh, Director, Strategy and Operations, Cyber Peace Foundation, said, “We are happy to be collaborating with TikTok and the rest of our stakeholders to work on online safety. The need is not only for awareness but also being proactive to ensure that every netizen is secure in the Cyberspace.”

“As a global community, safety is one of TikTok’s top most priorities. Through our partnership with the Cyber Peace Foundation and our safety initiatives, we look forward to a long-term partnership and play an even greater role in promoting online safety.

In addition to user education, we, at TikTok, are continuously working to introduce additional features to promote safety. TikTok’s first of a kind Digital Wellbeing feature which limits the time users can spend on the app, is one such example,” said Sandhya Sharma, Director, Public Policy (India), TikTok.
