Trolls 'Zoombombed' TikTok's Pride event with racist and homophobic slurs, shutting down the day-long event only minutes after it started

Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.TikTok organized a day-long virtual Pride event Thursday over Zoom for hundreds of LGBTQ creators, consisting of workshops, panels, and fireside chats with employees.

"Zoombombing," the act of uninvited guests infiltrating a video call to troll or harass participants, has been an issue facing Zoom calls for months, causing companies and clients to ban the software. Zoom has since ramped up security and privacy.A virtual event hosted by the short-form video company TikTok was forced to shut down on Thursday just five minutes after it had started after trolls inundated the Zoom call with homophobic and racist slurs.

In a transcript of the Zoom call's text chat sent to Business Insider, trolls almost immediately flooded the chat with messages about "Straight Pride," Donald Trump, and Chick-fil-A, the food chain that donated. Some Zoombombers, with usernames like "GayNotOkay," repeatedly posted slurs for Black people and queer individuals in the chat.
