TikTok has announced they will now prohibit misgendering, deadnaming and misogyny, plus, they will ban all content that promotes “conversion therapy.”

“Though these ideologies have long been prohibited on TikTok, we’ve heard from creators and civil society organizations that it’s important to be explicit in our Community Guidelines,” Cormac Keenan, TikTok’s head of trust and safety, wrote about the updates. “On top of this, we hope our recent feature enabling people to add their pronouns will encourage respectful and inclusive dialogue on our platform.”

In addition, the app also announced that they will remove content that promotes disordered eating, will take more of an effort to prevent suicide hoaxes from spreading, and will take steps to prohibit users from using TikTok to “perpetrate criminal activity.”
