“Some horrendous individuals fabricated an entire application for finding and advancing Covid-hazardous huge, indoor local gatherings and they’re utilizing TikTok to advertise it to a large number of individuals,” The New York Times journalist, Taylor Lorenz, tweeted, sharing screen captures and a TikTok special video.
Even if this app was meant to find and promote small indoor parties (as they claim, despite the posts on TikTok), that’s still incredibly dangerous and illegal in many places under current US pandemic restrictions. I hope everyone out there can stay safe and healthy and take care
