00:00Now, one of my personal goals as CEO is to ensure TikTok earns trust and has a strong

00:07reputation for a positive impact in the world as an unparalleled platform for creativity,

00:14free speech, and as a good global corporate citizen.

00:19We don't allow children under the age of 13 on our platform, and we restrict the features

00:25available to members of our community who are under 17 years old.

00:29Now, they can still have fun, but the experience on our platform looks very different for mine

00:35or yours.

00:37Among other things, they cannot livestream on our platform, their screen time is limited,

00:43and the content that they create cannot be served as a recommendation to the global TikTok

00:48community.

00:49The security of our user data is non-negotiable.

00:53It is one of our core principles, determining our actions and driving TikTok to the forefront

00:59of data security innovation.

01:02On this particular issue, our goals are aligned with public sector leaders who are also focused

01:07on protecting online safety.

01:09Now, we have invested more than $1.5 billion to secure the data of our U.S. community,

01:16and we will spend 12 billion euros over the next decade to protect the private information

01:21of our users across Europe.

01:23Content created to misinform and to manipulate, to foment hate and rage, to hurt and to harm,

01:30this kind of content has no place on our platform, no place in our community, and we actively

01:36and aggressively combat it in all forms.

01:39In the recent three-month period, we've removed 136 million videos that violated our standards.

01:46We got rid of 96% of them before anyone even had the chance to report them, and 77% of

01:53these videos were removed before a single user had a chance to view them.

01:58We will continue to enhance our efforts to become even more effective at protecting our

02:03community from bad actors.
