We know that TikTok is not only a place where millions of people come to be entertained, but also a place where people come to learn. That's why we launched #LearnOnTikTok last year, a major investment to deliver the widest experience of learning in a short-form content format.

For some, learning on our platform might involve getting their fix of the everything to do with the Euros, or it might be staying informed on the latest news and updates around the COVID-19 vaccine.

As part of #LearnOnTikTok, we launched our #FactCheckYourFeed campaign in May to help equip our community with the skills they need to critically engage with content, navigate our platform safely and guard themselves against potential harms.

For the next instalment of #FactCheckYourFeed, we're focusing on making good financial decisions online. Working in partnership with Citizens Advice to coincide with their annual Scams Awareness Fortnight campaign, we're rolling out informative new videos all about financial literacy, including how to make informed financial decisions, getting the most out of research and understanding financial terminology and jargon.
