Schoolgirls in Britain posted videos on TikTok where they ask for money. The terrifying event happens as pervert groomers are entertained and are commenting on the young ones' posts.
Several clips of the girls were confirmed to have been taken in the school specifically in the classroom and the toilet. Three girls are revealed to be from the same school. They used hashtags such as "sugar daddy" and "paypigs" which is slang for men who send money to ladies who post X-rated photos or clips.
These girls shared their payment details with those who show interest in their content by commenting they got another career if their GCSEs (General Certificate of Secondary Education) fail. Such evidence was used to take down the posts and most especially the accounts of the young girls not only to protect the school's image but to protect the young girls' life from olnline predators.
What's more shocking for the audience is the fact that the video stayed for a month and can be still accessed by many which from the perspective of others is terrifying as they are putting the safety of the girls at risk. Several clips were uploaded since April which raised alarm among the application's 10,000 watchdog moderators.
According to Mirror News, the horrifying video remained despite the pledge from the £60billion application owned by Chinese Bytedance to ensure the children's safety.
Safety of the young ones from predator
One of the accomplices of Mirror News acts as a predator to gather evidence and found out that the four girls had a total of 14,000 followers and garnered 33,000 likes from their potential groomers who are hooked by the hashtags they used.
However, their account on TikTok showed no evidence of being moderated but the three girls out of four contained links to their personal Instagram accounts and they were all private but their feature biographies say goddess and findom which means financial domination. On the other hand, Instagram claims to have policies and regulations that protect children but according to the data gathered by the accomplice of the Mirror News, the protection of young ones is not seen on their visit to the sites.
According to TikTok, content that sexualized children is illegal and can lead to imprisonment as the application has zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and sexualized content of minors or any person below 18. Any visual, textual, and audible depictions or production of explicit or inferred child sexual assault and child exploitation as well as searching from viewing, creating, and sharing disturbing content is illegal and puts the minor's safety in extreme harm are all considered as CSAM or Child Sexual Abuse Material or Sexualized content of minors.
Preventing sexual and child abuse on TikTok
TikTok has acquired more than half a billion users worldwide in 2019 and drawn the security of regulators in the United States. However, in February a record $5.7 million fine hits by the Federal Trade Commission to settle allegations that involves collecting personal data from children under the age of 13.
As part of the said settlement agreement with the Federal Trade Commission FTC, TikTok promised to build measures to protect the young users which entail tools for parents, per BuzzFeed News.
