Amid US addiction suits, TikTok launches digital guide to build safer online habits in PH 11.08.2026

Rappler

TikTok introduced the #ThinkTwice Family Guide in the Philippines on August 11, aiming to foster better communication between parents and their children about digital safety. The guide, launched during a townhall meeting, includes conversation starters, reflection activities, safety tips, and information on TikTok’s safety features. It was developed in partnership with Child Rights Coalition-Asia, the Child Rights Network, and Plan International Pilipinas. Users can access the guide by searching "Think Twice" on TikTok, which leads to a digital check-in hub for downloading the resource.
