TikTok, a video-sharing social media company, has responded to a viral crate challenge that has been causing a stir on the internet recently.
According to Company, the platform condemned "destructive behaviors" and stated that it would remove anything that promotes them. TikTok also cautioned users against engaging in risky behavior.
The viral crate challenge has sparked outrage on social media, since it appears that the challenge is inflicting more harm than good.
The task entails stacking milk crates into stairwells and building a pyramid out of them. The competitor must ascend to the top of the pyramid-shaped boxes and then descend without damaging the construction.
Unfortunately, it appears that people are breaking their rib cages rather than the structure, as the majority of those who attempted the challenge fell with a crash.
"TikTok forbids anything that promotes or glorifies dangerous behaviors, and we remove videos and divert searches to our Community Guidelines to discourage such content," the company said in a statement.
"We encourage everyone to exercise caution in their behavior whether online or off."
