TikTok says a “moderator error” delayed the removal of Perez Hilton‘s livestream after the celebrity blogger appeared to self-harm on the platform. The company said its automated systems detected the broadcast within minutes, but the livestream remained online while it was being reviewed by a member of its moderation team. In a statement to TMZ, a TikTok spokesperson said: “Our automated moderation systems flagged the live stream within minutes and routed it to our US moderation team for review. The incident has prompted questions over TikTok’s moderation of livestreams, particularly when harmful content is broadcast in real time. In recent years he has focused on social media, podcasts and YouTube following the decline of traditional celebrity blogs.
