In addition to his concerns about the spread of explicit content to people who might not choose to consume it, McLoughlin is worried about the trend’s long-term ramifications. “Other content creators, who don’t break the rules, might find themselves subject to even harsher systems which target them directly,” he said. “I can certainly imagine those who talk about breastfeeding to be targeted, for example.” According to the product description, this ruched style is “made for watching the sunset in Santorini.”

This is yet another instance where a content moderation system is pitted against an entrepreneurial younger audience base,” said Liam McLoughlin, a lecturer at the University of Liverpool studying content moderation. “These moderators are often given seconds to decide if content is rule-breaking, and from the Foopah examples I’ve seen, it’s taken me minutes to actually spot. So even if the content is flagged by the filter, human moderators might not be able to keep up.”Are researches how social media platforms take an overly draconian approach to bodies and how content moderation guidelines are often weaponized by those who dislike women or seek to gain power over them. “One of the reasons why this might be happening, and one of the reasons why this weird format has started trending, is that moderation of bodies on social media is notoriously puritanical,” she said.

The videos include ones in which people flash the camera from a distance, partly obscured by a door, or peek a nipple around a corner. Some are close-up shots of someone's face, with an object in the foreground on the edge of the screen that appears to be their nipple. Others show nudity in the reflection of faucets or mirrors.

For summer 2019, Insta influencers are taking the look to the mainstream masses — by flaunting sultry swimwear with some serious undercleavage popping out.

It's something that sex workers on TikTok are concerned about. Steph Oshiri, a Canadian adult content creator, tweeted that the Foopah challenge was a “bad look for us” and would have a negative impact on adult content creators’ ability to post safe-for-work content on TikTok in the future. “Next two weeks I’d expect to see a lot of accounts being banned or an update to guidelines,” Oshiri added. Around half of the more than 20 videos BuzzFeed News initially found had been taken down within 48 hours, with many of the accounts behind them terminated. But more videos had popped up to replace them. A TikTok spokesperson told BuzzFeed News, “Nudity and sexually explicit content is not allowed on TikTok. We take appropriate action against any content of this nature, including banning violative hashtags and removing videos. We continue to invest at scale in our Trust and Safety operations.” We’ve talked to y’all a lot about swimsuits this summer. We’ve covered flattering options that elongate your legs , structured suits that hold up your DDs , plus-size cuties that are just that (actually cute!) —and now we’re here to talk about the latest trend that we just can’t ignore anymore. That’s right, we’re looking right at you, side boob. Susan Collins jokes she'll 'wear a bikini' in protest of 'Fetterman Rule': 'There's no dress code anymore'

With pieces that feature *gorgeous* lace detailing, whimsical embroidery, party-ready mesh, and unique cutouts, who wouldn't want to give the lingerie trend a whirl? Others were concerned about the potential legal ramifications of creators exposing themselves to minors on the app, given TikTok’s comparatively young user base.
