TikTok fever spreads so quickly that it reaches all levels of society in several parts of the archipelago. Not only ordinary people, but celebrities are also participating in the euphoria of 'dance' in a contemporary social media application platform. This social networking application and music video platform from China was first launched in September 2016 by Zhang Yiming. In Indonesia, it was blocked on July 3, 2018, because there was a lot of negative content there. However, after a week the blocking was reopened after negotiations between the government and Tiktok.
Although TikTok has removed negative content for Indonesia, many have made it. Therefore it is not surprising that there are some people who call TikTok users Overreacting, tacky, shameless, but in fact, TikTok users are growing and booming every day. It's not only done by young people, TikTok users have reached across professions; minimarket employees, security guards, bank employees, police, RT mothers, to governors and ministers.
Creating content on Tiktok or other social media as a form of freedom of expression and work is of course fine. But here's what you shouldn't do on Tiktok, especially for those of you who are still in school.
1. Do not create pornographic content
Even though there are many who like it, you should not create sexual content. Moreover, to show things that are not appropriate. Because content like this will promote sexual crimes, sexual harassment, deprive women of self-respect and dignity. Especially for those of you who are still in school.
Even in Indonesia, there are cases of TikTok content such as those that end up being expelled from school. In Pekan Baru, two students made a video that went too far and ended up being expelled from school. Even though he has been reprimanded many times, because of the consideration of the national exam, only one person has been transferred to the school.
The school said, "Don't because one other 860 students become infected, we are doing this to save the child from his psychology, so we ask his parents to look for another school, we will help make the transfer letter."
2. Do not create derogatory content
Harassing or derogatory content is common on social media. Especially to the point of insulting certain religions, symbols of the state, institutions, and individuals. Content with racist nuances will bring you behind bars (prison). So you have to be careful about this. The ITE laws will be stalking you.
Once, in Georgia, two students were expelled from school for making racist TikTok videos. In Indonesia, there have been many cases of humiliation and racism in Tiktok, and some have even been arrested by the police.
3. Don't be too funny.
Bowo Alpenliebe left school because he was often bullied because of his video on Tiktok. He had gone viral some time ago with his eccentric videos. He was bullied not only on Tiktok but also in the real world. He also had been named a Tiktok artist. Ouch, until you have an impact, guys. You should first pay attention to the negative impact before making a video.
4. Do not expose personal data
Don't expose too much personal information in the video. For example, address, date of birth, KTP number, and others. Other people can use it for acts of wrongdoing, such as theft, fraud, and others. Be careful, guys.
5. Don't just join in
Don't follow something that makes you regret it after making the video. For example, Video pranks are in vogue. But don't join the trend if you end up lying, harming, or making other people uncomfortable. In addition, you should not take part in TikTok challenges that endanger you, such as the Skullbreaker Challenge which was viral. This can threaten the safety of you and others. So you need to pay attention to these kinds of things.
Other dangerous content such as spreading hoaxes. Apart from misleading others, you can also be caught in the trap of the law. Always verify the information before passing it on. You should also not use other people's content for your TikTok. If you are caught by the original owner, you can be sued for infringing the copyright. After all, authentic videos are more interesting.
From that, then we have to put something in its place. Don't for the sake of being viral or for TikTok content we do everything. Without paying attention (considering) the cause and effect later after making the video. In addition, we also need to see how useful or positive the video is before we make it.
Use any social media wisely, don't violate the rules let alone follow the wrong things. Moreover, until he is expelled from school, and eliminates shame and self-respect as Allah's creation. []
