TikTok has taken action against a content creator known as Young C, who recently attempted a daring 24-hour challenge of being buried alive. The Nigerian man gained attention on Wednesday when he announced his plan to spend a full day inside a coffin, live-streaming the entire experience on multiple platforms.
Young C initially shared a video on his Instagram account, assuring viewers that the challenge was not faked and that he would be broadcasting live during the nighttime hours. However, as the hours passed, he began to experience physical discomfort, including excessive sweating.
In subsequent updates, Young C revealed that he had already been buried for over 8 hours and was struggling with the rising heat. He expressed concern about the battery life of his rechargeable fan, which he relied on for ventilation.
While Young C’s daring endeavor attracted attention from curious onlookers, it also raised concerns about the potential dangers involved in such challenges. TikTok ultimately decided to ban his account, possibly due to safety reasons or violations of their content policy.
Young C has since emerged from the “grave” and his videos can be watched on the provided link. This incident serves as a reminder of the risks some content creators may take to gain online popularity and the responsibility platforms have in ensuring user safety.
