Exploitation on TikTok in Kenya

China's TikTok platform is reportedly profiting from sexual livestreams involving children, with weak moderation policies. Teenage girls and young women in Kenya have used the platform to advertise and negotiate payment for explicit content. Some girls as young as nine are participating in these activities, earning money to support themselves and their families. The platform takes a 70 percent cut from livestream gifts and moderators express concerns about the platform's moderation policies and reliance on AI.
