A popular loan app has stirred controversy after sharing photos of 87 debtors on social media, urging them to repay their loans.
The incident came to light through a series of videos uploaded on TikTok. The app posted the pictures across three separate videos, each captioned: “Please settle your loans,” as a public reminder to the borrowers.
The videos quickly gained attention, prompting a wave of reactions in the comment section. While some criticized the app’s approach as unethical and defamatory, others made light of the situation.
