TikTok accused of helping to promote sex industry to girls

Automated excerpt

TikTok is helping to promote and normalise the sex industry, allowing “sexfluencers” to post videos aimed at marketing pornographic content they have uploaded elsewhere on sites such as OnlyFans, a report indicates. While mentioning OnlyFans or directly linking to OnlyFans from TikTok accounts is prohibited, euphemisms, emojis and crude gestures are used to indicate that performers’ adult content is available for sale on other platforms. TikTok prohibits sexual solicitation, including invitations to share explicit images, but the platform distributes so-called safe-for-work material produced by popular OnlyFans performers.
