TikTok is racing against time to stop the spread of a frenzy video among its users, showing a man shooting himself with a pistol, and banning the accounts of people who return تحميل section.

In the context, the famous Chinese application confirmed in a statement yesterday that the clip was originally broadcast on Facebook in late August, and then appeared on other applications, and the representative of Tik Tok explained that the suicide clip had begun to spread recently.

When TikTok users became aware of the clip, many content creators started posting clips warning their followers to look for a picture of a man sitting in front of his office with a gray beard and long hair and to stay away from the video.

Other content creators also talked about the most annoying part of the video that is hidden inside a harmless-looking image.

Ban the sensitivities that promote it

"Our systems automatically detect and report these videos for violating our policies against content that displays, praises, glorifies, or promotes suicide," the spokesperson said. "We block accounts that try to upload the clip over and over, and we appreciate the members of our community who report this content and warn others not to watch, interact with, or share this video on any platform out of respect for the person and their family."

It is noteworthy that these types of video clips have appeared on other sites in the past, including Facebook and Instagram.

And given that TikTok clips appear in one main feed - known as the For You page - that people are browsing, it can be hard to avoid the snaps.

This may explain why the TikTok community is trying to be very careful about warning others about the images in the video.

Warnings also began to appear on Instagram, where the video was circulated, while parents spoke on sites such as Twitter about their children who watched the video, and what resulted from it.
