TikTok正在增加一项新功能，帮助患有光敏性癫痫病的人避免潜在的危险光敏内容。如果创作者上传的内容包含可能引发光敏性癫痫的效果，该短视频平台就会发出警告，且可以直接设定规则让病患选择在未来不观看此类内容。

Tiktok is adding a new feature to help people with photosensitive epilepsy avoid potentially dangerous photosensitive content. If the content uploaded by the creator contains effects that may cause photosensitive epilepsy, the short video platform will issue a warning, and can directly set rules for patients to choose not to watch such content in the future.

美国癫痫基金会表示，在美国，每26人中就有1人在某一时刻患上癫痫，其中有十分之一的人受到癫痫发作的影响。涉及闪烁的灯光和高亮高对比色彩的视频内容可能会引发癫痫发作，所以人们能够控制他们能够看到的内容是很重要的--特别是在像TikTok这样的社交平台上，内容会通过算法主动推送给用户。

"虽然光敏性癫痫患者的人群不多，但影响可能相当严重，"癫痫基金会Epilepsy Foundation总裁兼首席执行官Laura Thrall说。"很高兴看到TikTok通过改变他们的平台来解决这个问题，以便我们癫痫社区的人在TikTok上查看内容时能够感受到保护，我们很自豪能与TikTok合作开展这项举措，并真心感谢我们的持续合作。"

"Although there are not many people with photosensitive epilepsy, the impact can be quite serious," said Laura Thrall, President and chief executive officer of Epilepsy Foundation“ I'm glad to see tiktok solve this problem by changing their platform, so that people in our epilepsy community can feel protected when viewing content on tiktok. We are very proud to cooperate with tiktok to carry out this initiative, and sincerely thank us for our continuous cooperation“

TikTok表示，它还一直在与欧洲、日本和韩国的癫痫病相关的健康组织合作，这些组织提供了关于公司如何帮助使应用更安全的反馈。TikTok称，该功能将在"未来几周内"推出。
