Pinterest is putting content creators on the hook for keeping their channels positive, fact-based and kind in a move the platform hopes will win over advertisers. the social media platform shared a new set of guidelines called The Creator Code, which requires users who have business accounts — called “Creators” — to agree to before posting content.
Creators have to agree that the content they are about to post adheres to five points: Be kind, check facts, be aware of triggers, practice inclusion and do no harm. Pinterest is also rolling out a fund to pay some creators for posting to the platform as well as new content moderation tools. This will all roll out in the coming weeks.
An interesting note: Facebook and YouTube are the most popular social media sites despite the recent public backlash against social media.
A new survey indicates both tech companies are dominating the landscape with 81% of responders using YouTube and 69% using Facebook
