Think you’re safe being an anonymous TikTok troll or cyber bully? Meet your worst nightmare.
With a huge online following behind him, the Great Londini is taking on the trolls - but isn't that TikTok's job?The masked man in the black hoodie speaks straight to the camera with an electronically distorted voice. He looks and sounds straight out of a horror movie.
The platform rules Londini has been accused of breaking have varied - online harassment and bullying, even violent extremism. But Londini contests all of these.'We're the anti-troll'He's known as Leo. That isn't his real name, and his identity is a well-kept secret as he regularly receives death threats. Leo occasionally takes his mask off in his TikTok lives, though, where he chats with both his fans and detractors who are up for a debate.
TikTok says it makes great efforts to protect users, and has introduced new features like allowing users to choose who can comment on their video and filter out certain words in their comments."We know there is no finish line when it comes to protecting our users, which is why we will continue to invest in our teams, products and features to ensure that TikTok is a safe place for our community," a spokesperson said.
At the request of the father, Leo and several friends tracked down the anonymous bullies who tormented his son. But this fandom comes at a price. There is a risk that the movement may on occasion become the thing that it despises. Liz, a peace activist, described the holiday when the US pays tribute to men and women killed while serving in the military as "an entire holiday just dedicated to murder".
