TikTok profiting from Syrian refugees plight: Report_我的网站

明日之子

一 | London, Oct 12 (UNI) Refugee families in Syrian camps are begging for donations on TikTok while the company takes up to 70 per cent of the proceeds, a BBC investigation has found.

Children are livestreaming on the social media app for hours, pleading for digital gifts with a cash value.

The BBC saw streams earning up to $1,000 (£900) an hour, but found refugees received only a tiny fraction of that.

TikTok said it would take prompt action against "exploitative begging", the BBC report said.

The company said this type of content was not allowed on its platform, and it said its commission from digital gifts was significantly less than 70 per cent. But it declined to confirm the exact amount.

Earlier this year, TikTok users saw their feeds fill with livestreams of refugee families in Syrian camps, drawing support from some viewers and concerns about scams from others.

In the camps in north-west Syria, the BBC found that the trend was being facilitated by so-called "TikTok middlemen", who provided families with the phones and equipment to go live.

The middlemen said they worked with agencies affiliated to TikTok in China and the Middle East, who gave the families access to TikTok accounts. These agencies are part of TikTok's global strategy to recruit livestreamers and encourage users to spend more time on the app, the BBC said.

The gifts they're asking for are virtual, but they cost the viewers real money and can be withdrawn from the app as cash. Livestream viewers send the gifts - ranging from digital roses, costing a few cents, to virtual lions costing around $500 - to reward or tip creators for content.

For five months, the BBC followed 30 TikTok accounts broadcasting live from Syrian refugee camps and built a computer program to scrape information from them, showing that viewers were often donating digital gifts worth up to $1,000 an hour to each account.

Families in the camps said they were receiving only a tiny fraction of these sums, however, the BBC report said.

TikTok influencer and ex-professional rugby player Keith Mason donated $330 during one family's livestream and encouraged his nearly one million followers to do the same.

When told by the BBC that most of these funds were taken by the social media company, Mason said it was "ridiculous" and "unfair" to families in Syria.

"You've got to have some transparency. To me, that's very greedy. It's greed," he said.

TikTok's rules say you must have 1,000 followers before you can go live, you must not directly solicit for gifts and must "prevent the harm, endangerment or exploitation" of minors on the platform.

After the BBC contacted TikTok directly for comment, the company banned all of the accounts.

It said in a statement: "We are deeply concerned by the information and allegations brought to us by the BBC, and have taken prompt and rigorous action.

"This type of content is not allowed on our platform, and we are further strengthening our global policies around exploitative begging."

TikTok, the world's fastest-growing social media app, has made more than $6.2 billion in gross revenue from in-app spending since its launch in 2017, according to analytics company Sensor Tower.

直播吧4月21日讯英超第33轮曼城客场2-0击败埃弗顿，赛后德布劳内接受采访时，谈到了今夏离队以及未获续约的话题。《曼彻斯特晚报》对此做了跟进报道。

二 |

德布劳内表示，他对曼城决定不续签合同感到震惊，这是在4月初的一次“简短”会议上传达给他的。曼城对阵埃弗顿赛后，曼城体育总监贝吉里斯坦在古迪逊公园的通道里与他的继任者维亚纳进行了愉快的对话。就在此时，德布劳内走出了曼城更衣室，几分钟后，总监可能就笑不出来了。

媒体就等在外面，大多数曼城球员委婉地忽略了记者的存在，但德布劳内直接走向了记者的话筒。他有话要说，而现在是时候了，这也是他第一次有机会坦率地谈论曼城不续约的决定。

第一个问题就为这次采访定下了基调，当被问到这几个星期收到的致敬是否让他高兴时，德布劳内说：“我不在乎，既然决定已经做出，我只会像以前一样正常踢足球。”这个回答就像他的弧线传球一样精准和威力十足。

四 | 德布劳内还表示，他在与贝吉里斯坦和CEO索里亚诺的“简短”会谈中已经向他们讲述了很多。

赛后采访就发生在贝吉里斯坦能听得到的地方，这很尴尬吗？德布劳内说：“我不觉得尴尬。就是这样。我必须接受他们做的决定。

五 | 我也告诉过他们，我觉得我还有很多能量可以付出。”

德布劳内从来都不是一个沉默寡言的人，从现在开始也不会。当然，他不得不接受自己被放在货架上，这意味着他有可能拒绝代表曼城参加世俱杯，并为他的下一步行动做准备，他也得考虑曼城在英超竞争对手发来邀请的可能性。

德布劳内终于发声了，在整个赛季中他对于合同谈判的冷静态度让人印象深刻，现在轮到他来表达自己的想法了。第31轮曼市德比，瓜迪奥拉接受赛前采访的几分钟之前，德布劳内发表了离队信息，这一举动显得有些不和谐，但他显然是有意为之。德布劳内透露，在向外界宣布这一改变人生的决定之前，他已经做了数天时间的“奇怪”的思考。

他解释说：“大约过了半个星期我才将它宣布出来，这感觉并不好。我的家人没有在家，他们在度过复活节假期，所以这有点奇怪，但事实就是这样。而且时间太紧促了，所以我感觉有点怪异。在做出决定并公开后，相比只有我知道而其他人不知道的时候，向外界宣布这件事让我感到轻松了一些。

“但我不知道如何处理这种情绪，也不知道在俱乐部里应该怎么办。现在事情已经公开了，一切都没有问题了。
