WEB DESK: In response to the ongoing monsoon floods in Pakistan, TikTok has rolled out a new search guide designed to help users access accurate and trustworthy information during this challenging period.
As part of its efforts to enhance user safety and curb the spread of false narratives, the platform’s latest initiative provides direct links to credible sources related to natural disasters. When users search for flood updates on TikTok, they will now encounter a prominent banner prompting them to verify their information through official channels.
The update includes a direct connection to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), giving users access to real-time, verified reports on floods and other emergencies. This feature aims to reduce misinformation and ensure users receive timely, accurate updates.
Alongside this, TikTok’s Safety Center and Tragic Event Support page are now more accessible, offering practical guidance on managing distress during crises. These resources include mental health support options and advice on responsibly sharing or reporting sensitive content.
The Tragic Event Support section clarifies what constitutes a tragic event covering natural disasters, personal losses, and other emergencies—and provides helpful tips for those affected.This new measure underscores TikTok’s ongoing commitment to building a secure, informed, and compassionate community, especially in times of crisis and natural calamities.
