"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.
