KARACHI: To increase awareness of digital safety among young people nationwide, TikTok and the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) have announced the opening of the #DigitalHifazat tournament.
The competition asks TikTok creators to make brief, powerful videos that focus on six important topics: using social media responsibly, preventing online harassment, preventing online fraud, protecting youth safety and wellbeing, being aware of TikTok’s safety features, and dealing with false information on social media.
TikTok and the PTA hope to encourage the platform’s users to help spread the word about digital safety and cultivate a culture of checking information before sharing it by holding the #DigitalHifazat contest.
By taking part, people will help create a safer online environment for everyone by teaching others about responsible online conduct.
Participants in the #DigitalHifazat contest must be 13 years of age or older.
In order to prevent problems like online harassment, fraud, dangers to the safety of young people, and disinformation, TikTok, a platform that hosts short-form videos, makes sure that every content on the platform complies with its Community Guidelines.
TikTok’s continuous attempts to preserve these principles and provide a safe, encouraging environment for its international community include the #DigitalHifazat competition.
By tagging @ptaofficialpk in their videos and using the hashtag #DigitalHifazat, creators can enter the competition. Videos must be submitted by completing the form on the official TikTok hashtag page for the contest, which is accessible in both Urdu and English. You may find the page on the app by searching for the #DigitalHifazat hashtag. The quality of the content, topical relevance, and adherence to TikTok’s community guidelines will all be taken into consideration when choosing the winning videos. The official hashtag page will reveal the results. The winner will receive an Apple iPad Air, while the two runners-up will get Samsung cellphones. Participants must be at least 13 years old to access the content.
The collaboration between PTA and TikTok demonstrates a common dedication to improving digital safety and literacy in Pakistan. In the end, the competition will create a more knowledgeable and accountable online community by giving Pakistani youth and digital enthusiasts a forum to voice their opinions on important digital issues.
