TL;DR
- TikTok attributes the delayed removal of Perez Hilton's self-harm livestream to a "moderator error."
- The platform notified law enforcement and banned Hilton's account for violating community guidelines.
- While some reported the livestream lasted over 30 minutes, TikTok claims it was around 15 minutes and that automated systems flagged it within minutes.
- Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office responded to Hilton’s home and transported him to a hospital.
- The incident has sparked renewed concerns about TikTok's content moderation, especially in light of recent layoffs affecting its moderation team.
