TikTok, unlike other social platforms, is relatively safe. People haven’t reported as many incidences of bullying, hate speech, or spamming. However, no one is safe from some kind of backlash, not even on Tiktok. And sometimes, the only choice you have left to get rid of some stalker, or blackmailing cheapshot, is to block them from your tik tok profile.
This Tech-Recipe will teach you how to do just that and help you reassert your safety and privacy in the process.

Some Tips to Handle Negative Feedback and Hate on Tik Tok
Of course, in his Internet-ruled age, no one is safe from negativity despite setting up many security and privacy cordons. When someone wants to get a place in your head, the Internet provides them alternate routes to camp inside it, rent-free.
Keeping this in mind, and when all else fails, here are some things that you can do to save yourself from a sticky situation.
Don’t React
The haters feed on your reactions. If you don’t make a habit of ignoring them, their argumentations will keep your anger fever-pitched. And trust me, your relentless fight-back will only make you say things that you’re bound to resent later. And that’s the objective of the hater: to make you feel as resentful as he can make you feel.
Just lay off, and live your best life. Interact with people who are influential and can stomach the truth and constructive criticism. Steer clear from people whose main intention is to bring you down to their level.
Report them to the TikTok Management
The best way to get rid of someone who’s constantly making your life heel is to report him to TikTok’s alert management. If the person is in the wrong, after a rigorous investigation, they will ban him from the platform.
