Here's how to make your For You Page safer if you're sensitive to flashing lights.
While TikTok's curated For You Page provides an endless supply of content,Sarah Shevon Archives users can unintentionally stumble across videos with intense visuals. Flashing lights may be detrimental for those with certain health conditions like migraines and sensory processing disorders, and may trigger a seizure in epileptic viewers.
An estimated 65 million people in the world have epilepsy, and according to the Epilepsy Foundation, one in 26 Americans will develop epilepsy at some point in their life.
"For the people with photosensitive epilepsy, exposure to flashing lights at certain intensities or to certain visual patterns can trigger seizures," Epilepsy Foundation president Laura Thrall said in a statement with TikTok. "While the population of those with photosensitive epilepsy is small, the impact can be quite serious."
In an effort to make its platform more accessible for affected users, TikTok added features in late 2020 to to filter out photosensitive videos. At the advice of epilepsy advocates, TikTok now warns users before showing photosensitive content that may trigger seizures, and now gives them the option to skip all photosensitive videos in the future.
