No more TikTok night-time livestreaming for Nigerians — for now
- TikTok has disabled access to its live-streaming feature in Nigeria from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m.
- The change was communicated via an in-app notification to creators with at least 1,000 followers.
- This restriction is part of an ongoing safety review following updated safety statistics for West Africa.
The temporary ban on TikTok's live-streaming feature in Nigeria raises significant concerns for creators who depend on late-night engagement. While safety is paramount, the lack of transparency regarding the investigation and the potential financial impact on creators warrants further discussion on how platforms balance safety with creator livelihoods.
