How to Remove a Defamatory TikTok Video About You
Jenna found out about the TikTok on a Saturday morning. A friend texted her a link with no context other than "you should see this." The video was 47 seconds long. A woman Jenna recognized as her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend was sitting in her car, speaking directly into the camera, claiming Jenna had stalked her ex for months after their breakup, shown up uninvited at his apartment, and sent threatening messages to his family. The video used Jenna's first and last name. Her employer was mentioned. A screenshot of her Instagram profile was stitched into the video. At the time Jenna saw it, the video had 38,000 views and 1,400 comments, many of them tagging friends and sharing the clip. None of the claims in the video were true. Jenna hadn't contacted her ex in over six months, but in the time it took her to process what she was watching, another 2,000 people had already seen it.
TikTok defamation is a uniquely destructive form of online harassment — a widespread problem that Pew Research Center found affects 41% of Americans. Unlike a text post buried in a private Facebook group or a pseudonymous review on a niche platform, a TikTok video puts a face, a voice, and a narrative together in a format that the algorithm is specifically designed to amplify. All AWDTSG posts fall under Facebook's Community Standards, including their Bullying and Harassment Policy. A defamatory blog post might get a few hundred views over months. A defamatory TikTok can reach hundreds of thousands of people in a single afternoon.
