Tech Planet learned that on April 29, some netizens found that Douyin's comments also began to show IP territory. Subsequently, on the evening of April 29, the official account of the Douyin Security Center posted that Douyin has been committed to maintaining a real and orderly community discussion atmosphere and ensuring the authenticity and reliability of the content disseminated by the platform. In order to prevent and control the bad behavior of individual users such as impersonating parties, malicious rumors, and rubbing traffic in hot events at home and abroad, the platform fully opened the function of displaying the IP territory of the account in the personal homepage and other locations on April 29.
Douyin said that at present, Douyin needs an updated version to display the IP territory, and the relevant display does not currently support manual opening or closing. Personal Page IP Territory Display is based on the user's last post or comment corresponding to the IP territory to determine the region. If you have never posted or commented on the Douyin platform, the IP territory information will not be displayed on the personal homepage. Ip territories are displayed to provinces (autonomous regions and cities) within the territory and to countries (regions) outside the country, and will not display the precise geographical location of users.
For some users to reflect that some people's IP territory shows "unknown", Douyin said that the IP territory display "unknown" is usually due to network reasons caused by information acquisition failure.
It is worth mentioning that at present, Weibo, WeChat, Baidu and other Internet platforms have successively opened up to display the user's IP territorial functions. Among them, Weibo, like Douyin, on the one hand, the user's comments will show the small tail of the IP territory, and on the other hand, the user's personal homepage will also show the IP territory. WeChat, on the other hand, is displayed when users post and leave messages on the WeChat public platform.
