tiktok brings amber alert to for for for for for, platform . It works with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) to bring these alerts to users and “harness the power of the Tiktok community in the United States” to help children reunite with their families.
Last year, social media platforms began experimenting with this feature through Texas’ pilot program. Tiktok said the launch was successful, with Texas’ Amber alerts being viewed over 20 million times and 2.5 million visits to the NCMEC website.
When an amber alert is issued, users who live near the missing child will see it appear in your feed. These posts will have two hyperlinks. One will result in relevant NCMEC data, and the other will contact 911 in case of information being conveyed. The platform also donates advertising points from these posts to “expand NCMEC messaging through its official Tiktok account.”
This is just the latest social media platform that integrates amber alerts in some way. Instagram starts pushing these alerts . Facebook . Hopefully, Tiktok adopts this idea will lead to more children returning to their loved ones safely.
