"Tik Tok" warns parents about a "suicide video" ... and an expert: Prevent your children until the clips are removed

The application "TikTok" strongly popular with teenagers, warned users, especially parents of children on the network, about images showing suicide, which were implicitly inserted into video recordings spread throughout the service.

These pictures show an American ending his life during a live broadcast on Facebook.

They were uploaded to several electronic platforms, and sometimes they were added to videos on other topics.

"We realize that video clips about a suicide operation broadcast live on Facebook are recently spreading on other platforms, including TikTok," TikTok wrote on Twitter.

The short video platform indicated that its systems monitor and automatically report on the relevant video clips.

She added, "We remove the content and shorten the accounts that repeatedly try to download the video clips. We are grateful to the members of our community who reported these contents, and advised others not to watch them or interest in these videos or share them on any platform, out of respect for the person concerned and his family."

Tik Tok, which is strongly popular with children and adolescents, allows videos to appear on users ’pages without the need for them to follow it.

Kira Pendergast, CEO of Save On Social, a company that specializes in electronic security, advised parents to prevent their children from using TikTok in the coming days until all the videos related to this issue are removed.

"This content is being shared widely, so we want to minimize the damage," she wrote on Facebook.

Pendergast pointed out that the aforementioned video is being uploaded, especially to TikTok, through a camouflaged clip that shows pictures of small kittens.
