The fact that Facebook allows the broadcast of content that not everyone would want to see, to say the least, is not new and has provoked a lot of criticism.

Now it is also "dragging" Tiktok to it, which, if its troubles with the US administration are not enough, will have to deal with many user complaints.



The reason is a video of a man who committed suicide live on Facebook and synced it to Tiktok as well.

The video is very graphic and the viewers who were exposed to it were shocked.

What is the problem?

That it still continues to jump and be exposed even to users who are not really interested in watching it.

Warning of a surfer in Tiktok.

"Try not to enter it today"

Many surfers have sent warnings to exit the app, as it is impossible to actually escape from the video.

"Try not to get into ticketing today or tomorrow," one surfer wrote, "if you see a video of a man with long hair and a beard talking on the phone, scroll down and run away."



The criticism towards Bytedance is that the company fails to monitor the offensive content on Tiktok.

"We appreciate the surfers' concern and desire to keep other users away, out of caring and a desire not to hurt others," said an elusive spokesman for the company, who did not exactly explain what it intends to do next.

This is not the first time Tiktok has had a hard time dealing with suicide videos.

Earlier this year, a 19-year-old had a ceremony before depriving himself of his life, and it took Tiktuk more than three hours to report to authorities.

About 18 million people use Tiktok every day.
