Who is TikTok’s masked vigilante?


Listen Later

Think you’re safe being an anonymous TikTok troll or cyber bully? Think again.

The Great Londini could be your worst nightmare come true.

You might think you’re anonymous - but if you leave a threatening, racist or homophobic comment on someone’s video, Londini will find out who you are. If you’re a kid, he’ll contact your parents or your school. If you’re an adult, he'll really tell on you.

In just a few months, the mysterious online vigilante has gained a huge following for his efforts to clean up TikTok. Londini says he’s doing the job that the platform should be.

But does social media need moderation vigilantes - or are they a problem in themselves?
