TikTok Profiting From Sex Streams Involving Young Children
TikTok Profiting From Sexual Livestreams Involving Young Children
We spoke to three women in Kenya who said they began this activity as teenagers. They told us they used TikTok to openly advertise and negotiate payment for more explicit content that would be sent via other messaging platforms. BBC News 6 MAR 2025 https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/ace/standar...e7fb1719a4.jpg A blurred screenshot of a TikTok livestream - some performers (right) take it in turns to twerk and dance suggestively on the main screen (left) TikTok bans solicitation but the company knows it takes place, moderators have told the BBC. TikTok takes a cut of about 70% from all livestream transactions, we have previously found. TikTok told the BBC it has zero tolerance for exploitation. Livestreams from Kenya are popular on TikTok each night over the course of a week, we found up to a dozen in which women performers danced suggestively, watched by hundreds of people around the world. In some of the livestreams we watched, coded sexual slang was used to advertise sexual services. The emoji gifts act as payment for the TikTok livestreams and - because TikTok removes any obvious sexual acts and nudity - also the more explicit content sent later on other platforms. The gifts can be converted into cash. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i90y7Zh0z-M |
