🔴 Today Fundación Maldita.es is publishing the first part of a five-part investigation into TikTok's failure to stop child sexual abuse material on its platform. The findings are appalling:
• In just 35 days, we found more than 200 profiles openly posting explicit images of child sexual abuse, accessible to any TikTok user.
• 1,000+ images of explicit child sexual abuse content, with 48 million views.
• Some of them had been online since May without TikTok doing anything.
• We reported a sample to TikTok. It removed only 10% of the videos.
• We identified 26,000 predators seeking to buy, sell and exchange CSAM through the platform. 7,700 are Spanish-speaking.
This is not hidden away in some dark corner of the platform. It relies on TikTok's own tools.
