According to Agih his team contacted TikTok some time ago and raised their concern. TikTok in reply to their quest took down some of the accounts and videos however, it is still not enough.
“For us, that is like treating the symptoms and leaving out the main cause. That is basically what prompted us to go to court,” he explained.
