Buried Alive for Clout? TikTok Bans Reckless Nigerian Creator
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

In a move not applauded by many, TikTok has banned the account of a Nigerian content creator, Young Cent (Youngcentertainmnet), following his attempt to be buried alive for 24 hours as a social media challenge.

Young Cent’s stunt, livestreamed on the platform, raised serious safety concerns. While Young Cent emerged from the ordeal unharmed and expressed gratitude to his viewers, the potential for disaster was evident.

This incident reignites the debate about the responsibility of online platforms and creators when it comes to potentially dangerous stunts.

A Growing Trend of Risky Challenges

Young Cent’s challenge is not an isolated incident. Since Hilda Baci’s record-breaking cooking marathon in 2023, a wave of seemingly pointless and potentially harmful online challenges has emerged – “Nail-a-thons,” “Sleep-a-thons,” and “Sing-a-thons” to name a few. Unlike Baci, whose record-breaking attempt served a clear purpose, these recent challenges appear to be driven solely by a desire for online attention.

The Need for Regulation

The question now is, what can be done to prevent such reckless acts?

While TikTok’s swift action in banning Young Cent’s account is commendable, it begs the question of whether social media platforms themselves can adequately regulate user behavior.

Many argue that the onus falls on the Nigerian government to implement stricter regulations around online content. These regulations should aim to strike a balance between freedom of expression and protecting the safety of creators and viewers alike.

A Call for Responsible Content Creation

Ultimately, the responsibility also lies with content creators to prioritize safety over fleeting online fame. Young Cent, while unharmed, acknowledges the inherent dangers of his stunt and discourages others from replicating it.

This incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of chasing online clout. Content creators have a moral obligation to consider the safety of themselves and their audience before embarking on dangerous challenges.

A Discussion for All Ages

The conversation about online safety should not be limited to any one age group. Parents and educators have a role to play in teaching young people about the potential dangers of online trends and the importance of critical thinking when consuming online content.

By working together, platforms, creators, governments, and the public can ensure that the internet remains a space for creativity and connection, not one that puts people at risk.
