TikTok is strengthening its fight against health misinformation by collaborating with the World Health Organization’s “Fides” network. This partnership will bring over 800 healthcare professionals to TikTok, creating evidence-based content across eight countries. TikTok is also donating $3 million to support WHO’s mental health initiatives. The move aims to address the growing concern of health misinformation on social media platforms, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic. Fides experts will provide factual explainers and insights on key health topics, potentially countering dangerous health trends that have gained traction on social media apps.
