We Told TikTok About 100 Accounts That Sell Drugs: They Did Nothing

An investigation by Maldita.es found that despite being informed about 100 accounts selling drugs on TikTok, the platform took no action. This lack of response raises concerns about the safety and regulation of social media platforms, particularly when it comes to illegal activities.

The inaction by TikTok has significant implications for social commerce, as it may deter users from trusting the platform for shopping and transactions. Furthermore, it highlights the need for social media companies to take responsibility for monitoring and regulating content on their platforms to ensure a safe environment for users and businesses alike.
