It&#8217;s a way to avoid getting flagged for nudity violations and get around the app&#8217;s moderation system. But is it a real term? This article will explain. Let&#8217;s take a closer look.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fake_Body_is_a_term_used_to_avoid_being_flagged_for_violating_TikToks_nudity_policy\"><\/span>&#8216;Fake Body&#8217; is a term used to avoid being flagged for violating TikTok&#8217;s nudity policy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using the term &#8216;Fake Body&#8217; in a video&#8217;s caption and description prevents it from being classified as nudity on the TikTok platform. TikTok&#8217;s nudity policy prohibits users from posting videos of themselves wearing provocative or revealing clothing. The term has become incredibly popular on the social network and has now reached billions of viewers.<\/p>\n<p>A recent study by Thorn, a nonprofit dedicated to fighting child sexual abuse, found that half of American minors use the platform at least once a day. The company removed nearly 86 million videos in November, a quarter of which were nudity-related. It also banned the promotion of sexual services, solicitation, or sexcamming. These activities fall under the broad category of sexual exploitation.<\/p>\n<p>The word &#8216;Fake Body&#8217; has become so widespread on TikTok that people refer to the term in videos of themselves wearing body-hugging leotards. In September, NetzPolitik identified a number of the rules violating the nudity policy. Despite the dangers, the term has proven to be an extremely useful tool for those who want to avoid being flagged for violation of TikTok&#8217;s nudity policy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Fake Body&#8217; is referred to as a fake body in videos intended to promote the nudity policy. The term was coined by users to avoid being flagged for nudity on TikTok. The term also applies to pictures of public figures, such as those depicting gender confirmation surgery or other medical procedures.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Its_an_attempt_to_trick_the_apps_moderation_system\"><\/span>It&#8217;s an attempt to trick the app&#8217;s moderation system<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are millions of videos of bare bodies on TikTok with the hashtag &#8220;fake body,&#8221; but how do you spot them? Most of them are real people wearing revealing clothes and tagged with a yellow &#8220;warning&#8221; emoji. Users are using this tag to trick the app&#8217;s automated moderation system. But what exactly is fake body?<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"margin: 0px auto; display: block;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XkmWdaW0PPc\" width=\"360\" height=\"201\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Does &#8216;Fake Body&#8217; Mean on TikTok?
