There&#8217;s no consensus on who started the trend, but the day&#8217;s viral content triggered thousands of videos in response. These videos ranged from safety warnings to threats against sexual assault. The result was a global TikTok rape trend. But what is the April 24th TikTok trend?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"TikTok_rape_day\"><\/span>TikTok rape day<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a fun and quick way to share lip-syncing dance videos with friends, TikTok may be the answer. Although the platform is primarily known for its cute dance routines, it does have a dark side. In fact, April 24 has been linked to sexual assault in a number of cases, including the April 24th rape day. Sexual assault awareness and prevention month is also held on this day. The hashtag #April24 has been used over 30 million times in posts on the platform.<\/p>\n<p>Some users have reported violent videos to TikTok and called the trend a hoax. Although the video has yet to be verified, several tiktok users have defended their videos and said they didn&#8217;t see the original. Others say they saw a video posted in response to the original video. The community guidelines at TikTok are also unclear, but it&#8217;s likely that a few posts are fakes. Regardless, people are encouraged to report violent videos to ensure their safety.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the countless pranks, TikTok has a new campaign for April 24th. A group of men posted a video on April 24th claiming the day was &#8220;National Rape Day.&#8221; This video has since gone viral with over 30 million views. And despite the viral popularity of the video, it does not mean rape and other forms of sexual assault are acceptable.<\/p>\n<p>The new campaign for April 24th is a way to bring attention to the issues of sexual assault. As the internet becomes more invasive, TikTok has also created a community dedicated to the topic. As a result, a viral video with more than 120 million views was published in April. While TikTok can&#8217;t pinpoint the source of the original video, the trend is spreading and increasing the discussion about sexual assault.<\/p>\n<p>While the rape video trend has been a controversial topic in Australia, the internet has a way of bringing attention to a dangerous trend. Cyber safety expert Jordan Foster has conducted an investigation into the controversial social media app TikTok. Although he doesn&#8217;t believe that the day itself poses a real threat, Foster believes that the hysteria surrounding it can have negative effects.<\/p>\n<p>However, the TikTok community is still divided. While TikTok denies creating the video that announced the day, several users stitched together parts of the original video into a post. The full video didn&#8217;t reference April 24, so there is no conclusive proof of the video&#8217;s original intent. Even the police have warned residents about it. The video has spawned a social media trend on April 24th, despite the fact that TikTok&#8217;s head office doesn&#8217;t even know it exists.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"268\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FroUQlVB5hE\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the April 24th TikTok Trend?
