مصر تواصل الإطاحة بمشاهير «تيك توك»

The Egyptian authorities continue their campaign against content creators who violate regulations on social media platforms, as security forces have arrested several influencers on the "TikTok" app on charges related to sharing indecent video clips that contradict societal values.

The latest of these cases was the arrest of the blogger known as "Monly" in the Tagamoa area of Cairo, accused of sharing offensive content and collaborating with "Suzy the Jordanian," who is accused of money laundering, just hours after the arrest of "Lusha" and "Lolita" following similar complaints. The list also included other names such as "Madahem," "Um Makkah," "Aliyah Qamar," and "Bint Mubarak."

Parliamentarily, member of the legislative committee Atef Al-Maghawry confirmed that current laws are sufficient to hold violators accountable without the need for new legislation, emphasizing the importance of enforcing them instead of resorting to censorship. Meanwhile, the head of the communications committee, Ahmed Badawy, hinted at the possibility of blocking the platform if the broadcast of violating content continues, despite the state's commitment to supporting investment in the technology sector.

Since its entry into the Egyptian market in 2018, "TikTok" has remained one of the most popular platforms among youth, but it faces increasing controversy regarding content that critics describe as conflicting with societal values.
