TikTok says action taken on Israel conflict videos

TikTok has said it "immediately" took action to counter misinformation after the EU warned the platform following the attack by Hamas on Israel.

The EU called on TikTok boss Shou Zi Chew to "urgently step up" efforts, and "spell out" within 24 hours how it was complying with European law on Friday.

Social media firms have seen a surge of misinformation about the conflict like doctored images and mislabelled videos.

TikTok said it had removed "violative content and accounts".

"We immediately mobilised significant resources and personnel to help maintain the safety of our community and integrity of our platform," the company said in a statement on Sunday.
