In a plot twist that sounds like it was brainstormed during a surreal dream, TikTok has banned South African influencers like Cyan Boujee and Seemah after they promoted a programme so controversial it’s caught the attention of Interpol. Apparently, this programme is under investigation not just for suspected human trafficking but also for maybe, just maybe, moonlighting as a Russian drone factory. Yes, you read that right.
TikTok, playing the responsible adult in this wild circus, has double-down on its “no harmful, misleading, or exploitative content” policy—because apparently, promoting a programme that could be running a secret drone production line while smuggling people isn’t cool. a big NO. The ban has stirred up a heated debate about whether influencers should stick to dance challenges and lip-syncs instead of inadvertently advertising international crime thrillers.
