Some people even began comparing Guthrie to Amanda Todd, a 15-year-old who killed herself after she was blackmailed into sharing intimate images online. She said it's common for young women on TikTok to be sexualised by people on the platform, and that others had also had their nudes leaked and shared without their consent. Guthrie was heartened, however, by the response from other big TikTok creators who supported her in messages and videos. People report the account, but the account gets taken down 24 hours later, and by then they've already made two new accounts," Guthrie said. They need to have a better protocol in place. "There's no excuse for TikTok allowing this. The images are still popping up on TikTok, however. No-one from the platform contacted Guthrie, despite her attempts to get in touch. TikTok's search autocomplete function still suggests "Megnutt02 leaks" when you type in her account name. Guthrie's profile had been flooded with her underage images for days before the offending comments and accounts began to be deleted en masse. Guthrie is disappointed with TikTok's response. "The offending imagery, which originated on another platform, has been removed from TikTok and the accounts have been banned," they said. They denied Guthrie's account had been affected by their moderation. Guthrie said her videos began being automatically flagged for review as soon as she posted them - something she attributes to being caught in the crosshairs of TikTok’s moderation.Ī TikTok spokesperson told BuzzFeed News that they were aware of the behaviour and were cracking down on it. Others included the images in TikToks so that people searching her name would find them.
People posted the photographs on Instagram and tagged her dozens of times. Hundreds of accounts on TikTok used the images as their profile picture and commented on her videos so anyone who looked in the comments would see them. People began harassing Guthrie with her images.
"Those were private photos, taken underage, and no-one deserves to have their private photos leak and to be shown to the world and to be constantly reminded about it," she said. People she didn't know that well from school were messaging her to see if she was OK.
I was really confused and angry about why people would release them, the mean spirits that it took to send them," she said. "I was made aware of it when some of my caring and dedicated followers decided to track down family members and friends and them. Guthrie first found out about the leak when she heard from friends who had been sent the images by people online.
