TikTok Issues Rare Statement On Bone Crushing ‘Milk Crate Challenge’

Another year, another highly dangerous viral challenge.

The popular social media app generally lets viral trends run their course. However, the latest craze prompted the company to take a stand on solid ground... not on milk crates.

TikTok issued a statement to the Fast Company condemning the challenge and even removed the hashtag from the platform altogether.

“TikTok prohibits content that promotes or glorifies dangerous acts, and we remove videos and redirect searches to our Community Guidelines to discourage such content,” the statement said.

Countless videos of people attempting the stunt; some appear to get seriously injured.

“We encourage everyone to exercise caution in their behavior whether online or off.”

One video allegedly featured an NYPD officer who failed to make it across. That video quickly racked up more than 15 million views.

Medical experts have warned about the potentially life-threatening injuries that can come if the challenge goes wrong. Where are people getting all of these milk crates?!!
