The E-Commerce Risk Control (ECRC) team's mission is :
- To protect TikTok e-commerce users, including and beyond buyer, seller, creator;
- To make Tiktok e-commerce the safest and most trusted place worldwide to transact online by securing the integrity of the e-commerce ecosystem and providing a safe shopping experience on the platform;

The ECRC team works to prevent and detect any risk attempts in Tiktok e-commerce platforms (e.g. TikTok Shop, Fanno) and to mitigate the negative impact on our customers and Selling Partners (Sps), covering multiple classical and novel business risk areas such as account integrity, incentive abuse, malicious activities, brushing, click-farm, information leakage etc.
We achieve our mission by a) developing state-of-art Machine Learning (ML) solutions to prevent customers, SPs, and Tiktok from being impacted by bad actors’ actions and practices to gain unfair business advantages; b) empowering Tiktok teams, both internal to GNE and external, to reduce risk attempts by utilizing our mechanisms.
