TikTok pledges to promote Black creators
Last week, TikTok laid out a detailed action plan to help address criticism that its recommendation algorithm suppresses Black creators. The steps include the creation of a Creator Diversity Council, reassessing moderation strategies, and the development of a new creator portal. The platform has also pledged a $3 million donation to non-profits that help the Black community and a separate $1 million donation to address racial injustice and inequality.
