Thank you for your email dated May 9, 2025 inviting TikTok to respond to reporting by Migrant-Rights.Org alleging that influencers on TikTok monetize "trauma and poverty" linked to illegal organ harvesting of Kenyan migrants. Since the article does not identify or reference specific content or accounts on our platform, we cannot comment on any alleged specific examples from the article. However, we appreciate the opportunity to respond to the concerns outlined in the report and to provide more detail on our policies and efforts to safeguard our community.
