抖音將在印尼設立內容審查小組

Chinese video app Tik Tok, the most downloaded app globally on Apple Inc's app store in January-March, will set up a team of censors in Indonesia to overturn a ban imposed for "inappropriate content", local media reported last Thursday.

據當地媒體上周四報道，中國視頻應用抖音--蘋果應用商店1到3月間下載量最多的應用--將在印度尼西亞成立一個審查小組，推翻針對其“不恰當內容”的禁令。

The app is popular among young people for its homemade music videos. But access was blocked by authorities in Indonesia, home to the world's biggest Muslim population, for featuring content deemed pornographic and blasphemous.

憑借自主創(chuàng)造音樂短片的功能，這款應用在年輕人中頗受歡迎，但是印尼當局于日前封鎖了訪問權限，原因是其包含色情和褻瀆等不良內容。印尼是世界上穆斯林人口最多的國家。

Minister of Communication and Informatics Rudiantara told Reuters that the ban was temporary and could be lifted after Tik Tok cleaned up its content.

印尼通信與信息部部長魯迪安塔拉向路透社透露，該禁令只是暫時的，在抖音清理了違禁內容后就可能會被撤銷。

 

"We've asked Tik Tok to build a system that filters negative content and want them to have aliaison office in Indonesia," the minister said.

這位部長表示：“我們已經要求抖音建立一個過濾負面內容的系統(tǒng)，并希望他們在印尼當地有辦事處。”

Tik Tok is operated by venture-capitalist backed Toutiao, one of China's fastest-growing technology startups valued at over $30 billion, people familiar with the matter told Reuters.

據消息人士透露，抖音由風險投資公司投資的今日頭條運營。今日頭條是中國發(fā)展最快的科技初創(chuàng)企業(yè)之一，其市值已經超過300億美元。

A Toutiao spokesperson told media that Tik Tok would set up a team of 20 censors in Indonesia charged with monitoring and sanitizing content.

今日頭條的一位發(fā)言人日前向媒體透露，抖音將在印尼成立一個由20人組成的審查小組，負責監(jiān)控和凈化內容。

The firm's vice president, Zhen Liu, was quoted by newspaper Tempo as saying Toutiao would add up to 200 employees to Tik Tok's Indonesia office by the end of the year.

印尼報社《Tempo》援引該公司副總裁柳甄的話稱，到今年年底，今日頭條在印尼的辦事處將增加員工至200名。

Rudiantara would not confirm to Reuters whether the changes would be sufficient to lift the ban.

對于這些改變是否能足以解除禁令，魯迪安塔拉部長并沒有向路透社確認。
