TIKTOK has BANNED the popular “milk crate challenge”
From its platform due to concerns that users participating in the trend could be seriously injured.
The challenge saw TikTok users stacking milk crates into a pyramid and then attempting to climb across the unstable structure.
A spokesperson from the company told TechCrunch in an email that “TikTok prohibits content that promotes or glorifies dangerous acts, and we remove videos and redirect searches to our Community Guidelines to discourage such content.
In most videos depicting the trend, TikTok users are seen tumbling to the ground as they try to climb up one side of the makeshift pyramid and down the other.
The ban comes after several healthcare workers took to social media to voice their concerns about the trend and the danger it poses to those participating in it.
