A new challenge in Tik Tok is responsible for killing a child ... and Italy prohibits the application ... The choking challenge or the choking resistance challenge
A terrible incident of a 10-year-old girl sparked anger in Italy due to the short video application TikTok, where the girl participated in a new challenge in the application called the choking challenge or the choking challenge, which led to her death.
According to the British Guardian newspaper, the ten-year-old girl, Antonella, had the choking challenge, which orders resistance to suffocation and refrain from breathing after placing something on the mouth and nose for a period of time.
The child Antonella tried the challenge in the bathroom of her home and brought her phone to photograph the challenge, and it lasted for a while until her five-year-old sister noticed that she had lost consciousness, and when she was taken to the hospital, the child died.
The Italian prosecution opened an investigation into the death of the girl by inciting the TikTok app to commit suicide, as the prosecution tries to find out if someone encouraged her to commit suicide or if she was among another group, after confiscating her phone through which she filmed the challenge.
Italy's data protection authority, with immediate effect, was banned from what happened with the child Antonella until February 15, when TikTok will have to meet the organizers' demands.
A TikTok spokesperson said the safety of the TikTok community is our absolute priority, which is why we do not allow any content that encourages, promotes or glorifies behavior that could be dangerous.
