Life-threatening tiktok challenge on Morocco page stirs controversy
Monday 5 February 2024 - 16:04

Crazy challenges, hysterical cases, and drinking dangerous substances are now a form of entertainment on Moroccan TikTok. Moroccan journalist Ridouane Erramdani shared a video clip from a TikTok Live where two women were engaging in life-threatening challenges.”

The video shows one woman spraying a cleaning solution right into her eyes, as her rival dared her to. The second challenge was mixing aromatic substances, saponification materials, and eggs—a mixture that can create hazardous compounds and harm health.

Challenges have invaded social networking sites, especially on ‘TikTok,’ where users have found an opportunity to make easy and ‘dirty’ money through sarcastic and sometimes humiliating challenges. These challenges allow them to garner support and ‘push’ through gifts and prizes, ultimately translating into sums of money.

Moroccan TikTok content creators’ humiliating pleas for gifts and money have sparked outrage on social media, prompting calls for a complete and permanent shutdown of TikTok due to concerns about their harmful impact on the younger generation.”
