TikTok India has suspended the account of Faizal Siddiqui, a popular star after a video he posted was accused of glorifying acid attacks. A TikTok spokesperson stated they are committed to supporting law enforcement agencies for further action.
However, there has been a negative reaction on social media, with many people calling for action against the platform for not better regulating its content.
In response, the spokesperson clarified that their policy prohibits content that risks others’ safety or promotes physical harm or violence against women. The video in question violated their guidelines, and they have removed it, suspended the account, and are collaborating with law enforcement agencies as necessary.
TikTok has also taken down videos depicting animal abuse and non-consensual sexual acts of adults. The backlash against TikTok started when a popular YouTuber criticized TikTokers in a video and compared TikTok and YouTube’s video formats.
As a result, the app’s rating has dropped on Play Store, but it is unlikely to be removed.
