TikTok has gained significant popularity among social media platforms with its recent debut. The platform, which has clearly increased the number of users, cannot prevent unwanted events in some cases. The last few posts on the platform will impress students.
A group that made objectionable posts on TikTok caused schools to be suspended. Especially in the USA, school events that took place frequently mobilized everyone.
TikTok posts alarmed the US
US school districts were alarmed by the threatening posts that appeared to be made on TikTok. With the measures covering 4 states in total, on Friday, December 17, schools will be closed. While there will be an increase in the number of police in other regions, governors have also been involved in the event. Administrators in the relevant states invited students and families to calm down and announced that measures would be taken.
Although the threats related to the issue are not convincing enough, the police also have predictions that such a trend may occur. On the other hand, security units in some states announced that they are investigating possible threats and that there is no objectionable situation. While it was learned that the related investigations were continuing, some schools decided to cancel the classes in order not to be affected by the current panic atmosphere.
The first statement came from the TikTok front
TikTok, another pillar of the subject, made the first statement on social media. Explaining that they will work in partnership with security units, the platform included the following in its statement:
We take even gossip-driven threats very seriously. That’s why we’re working with law enforcement to review warnings of potential violence in schools, although we can’t find evidence of such threats emerging or spreading through TikTok.

While the scope of the event was expected to be expanded, these latest developments, together with some previous trends, were enough to shake the reliability of the platform. School attacks, which are seen from time to time throughout the USA, seem to keep the issue on the agenda for a while. Let’s see what kind of truth will emerge as a result of the investigations, we will wait and see.
