TikTok recently introduced #ThinkTwice Training in Malaysia as part of its expanded #ThinkTwice initiative, now featuring hands-on workshops focused on online safety and teen digital well-being. Since its launch, the initiative has already recorded nearly 400 million views for educational content, along with over 1.4 million visits to its multilingual knowledge hub.

The training program is structured as a series of workshops aimed at community participants including parents, content creators, academics, and civil society groups, with the objective of providing practical experience in managing online safety. The initiative is conducted in collaboration with the Communications and Multimedia Content Forum of Malaysia (Content Forum) and the Parent Action Group for Education Malaysia (PAGE), with plans to extend workshops to various local communities throughout the year.
During the sessions, participants are guided through TikTok’s built-in safety features, including account privacy settings, screen time limits, restricted mode, and parental control tools such as Family Pairing, which allows parents to link their accounts with their children’s accounts. The workshops also include interactive simulations demonstrating how these tools can be applied in real-life scenarios, along with step-by-step guidance on configuring safety settings.
“We know it can be difficult for parents to keep up with the fast pace of technology, so we want to make their lives easier through Safety by Design,” said Firdaus Fadzil, Malaysia Head of Public Policy at TikTok. “With teen accounts on TikTok having more than 50 preset privacy and security settings automatically turned on by default, parents don’t have to start from scratch. Recognizing that every family is different, #ThinkTwice Training empowers parents to have peace of mind by learning to customize their teens’ accounts with Family Pairing, all in a few simple clicks.”
Pokdepinion: I’d like to see initiatives like these further integrated into the education curriculum. There’s simply not enough resources available in the classrooms, even today.
