TikTok onboards Tahsan and Purnima as Safety Ambassadors in Bangladesh

TikTok has recently announced the launch of its Safety Ambassadors Program in Bangladesh, as a part of its goal to foster a safe and welcoming platform for its vibrant, diverse communities.

Actor-singer Tahsan Khan and actress, media personality Dilara Hanif Purnima, have joined forces with TikTok to feature in-app video campaigns that will cover a range of educational topics, including digital wellbeing, trust, and safety, as well as key safety features.

The first campaign under this program is the launch of Family Pairing mode, announced and narrated by Tahsan and Purnima, which went live on Thursday with #tiktokfamily, which allows parents and teens to customise their safety settings based on individual needs. This feature aims to provide greater parental control to parents over their children's activities on TikTok.

The Family Pairing Feature will give parents access to their children's TikTok accounts--by linking their own TikTok accounts with the childrens'. In addition to monitoring who their children can talk to, parents can also limit who can send messages to the connected account or turn off direct messaging completely.
