TikTok reportedly waited nearly three hours after it was aware of an apparent livestreamed suicide to report the incident to police.has revealed that a 19-year-old in Brazil livestreamed his death on the video-sharing platform nearly a year ago. When TikTok officials were alerted to the livestream, they reportedly waited to inform the police until after they took steps to ensure the story of the apparent suicide didn't spread or go viral.
The Intercept reports that the Brazilian teen's livestream video remained up on TikTok for more than an hour and a half, and received nearly 500 comments and 15 complaints, before it was taken down from the platform. Once people in TikTok's Brazil office became aware of the death, they took steps to mitigate fallout for hours before contacting local authorities.
It wasn't until later that night — nearly three hours after TikTok learned about the livestream, and more than four hours after the death — that TikTok contacted police in Brazil, The Intercept reported. Aside from TikTok's crisis management efforts, the report raises questions about how the platform's content moderation system in place that was unable to identify, or take action, on an apparent livestreamed suicide. The group responsible for moderating TikTok content — reportedly referred to as its "technical team" — was only made aware of the death after Brazilian influencers on TikTok notified employees about the livestream.

That's horrible. It's a human life and you choose to care your PR first?! DeleteTiktok
Apparently there is a website that keeps track of TikTok related deaths and serious injuries. Looks like most of the Deaths are from India and Pakistan due to stupid stunts involving trains or cars.
