TikTok profiting from Syrian refugees plight: Report_我的网站

A |     今天，杭州出现了久违的阳光明媚，但这不意味着雨水下线。

B |     London, Oct 12 (UNI) Refugee families in Syrian camps are begging for donations on TikTok while the company takes up to 70 per cent of the proceeds, a BBC investigation has found.

Children are livestreaming on the social media app for hours, pleading for digital gifts with a cash value.

The BBC saw streams earning up to $1,000 (£900) an hour, but found refugees received only a tiny fraction of that.

TikTok said it would take prompt action against "exploitative begging", the BBC report said.

The company said this type of content was not allowed on its platform, and it said its commission from digital gifts was significantly less than 70 per cent. But it declined to confirm the exact amount.

Earlier this year, TikTok users saw their feeds fill with livestreams of refugee families in Syrian camps, drawing support from some viewers and concerns about scams from others.

In the camps in north-west Syria, the BBC found that the trend was being facilitated by so-called "TikTok middlemen", who provided families with the phones and equipment to go live.

The middlemen said they worked with agencies affiliated to TikTok in China and the Middle East, who gave the families access to TikTok accounts. These agencies are part of TikTok's global strategy to recruit livestreamers and encourage users to spend more time on the app, the BBC said.

The gifts they're asking for are virtual, but they cost the viewers real money and can be withdrawn from the app as cash. Livestream viewers send the gifts - ranging from digital roses, costing a few cents, to virtual lions costing around $500 - to reward or tip creators for content.

For five months, the BBC followed 30 TikTok accounts broadcasting live from Syrian refugee camps and built a computer program to scrape information from them, showing that viewers were often donating digital gifts worth up to $1,000 an hour to each account.

Families in the camps said they were receiving only a tiny fraction of these sums, however, the BBC report said.

TikTok influencer and ex-professional rugby player Keith Mason donated $330 during one family's livestream and encouraged his nearly one million followers to do the same.

When told by the BBC that most of these funds were taken by the social media company, Mason said it was "ridiculous" and "unfair" to families in Syria.

"You've got to have some transparency. To me, that's very greedy. It's greed," he said.

TikTok's rules say you must have 1,000 followers before you can go live, you must not directly solicit for gifts and must "prevent the harm, endangerment or exploitation" of minors on the platform.

After the BBC contacted TikTok directly for comment, the company banned all of the accounts.

It said in a statement: "We are deeply concerned by the information and allegations brought to us by the BBC, and have taken prompt and rigorous action.

"This type of content is not allowed on our platform, and we are further strengthening our global policies around exploitative begging."

TikTok, the world's fastest-growing social media app, has made more than $6.2 billion in gross revenue from in-app spending since its launch in 2017, according to analytics company Sensor Tower.

UNI ING。市气象局最新消息：预计13日—14日杭州的降雨量将会明显增大，局地可能出现短时强降水、雷雨大风等强对流天气。

C | 在台风“白海豚”影响下，杭州气温降低，持续降雨又导致湿度显著升高，因此近期请大家注意做好除湿工作。今天上午，杭州出现了久违的大太阳，有人惊喜，“终于见到太阳了”。也有人惊讶，“是不是高温又要回来了？”小布想告诉大家，接下来的两天，杭州的雨又要升级了！明起，杭州降雨升级！局地可能出现强对流天气台风“白海豚”昨天在湖北省境内减弱为热带低压，中央气象台已于昨天17时对其停止编号。

D | 台风虽然减弱停编，然而造雨能力不减。

E | 昨天白天到夜间，湖北、河南、安徽、浙江等地部分地区出现暴雨到大暴雨、局地特大暴雨。

F | 从今天的卫星云图上可以看到，“白海豚”的残余环流结合了西风槽以及台风的尾流，共同组合成为范围广阔的降水系统。中央气象台今天早晨继续发布暴雨橙色预警和强对流天气蓝色预警，其中特别指出，河南作为强降雨中心，昨日已出现大暴雨或特大暴雨，今天强降雨还将持续，局地两日累计雨量或超过500毫米。这样的降雨强度，甚至已经超出了很多“白海豚”移动经过的区域。而在天气形势图上可见，这片降水系统的东边和西边都是高压系统，导致降水系统相对较为稳定。受其影响，杭州在短期之内多雨的天气格局不会改变。

G | 更加值得关注的是，“白海豚”的尾流里，由于西南季风和高压底部的东南气流交汇，还将催生出新的低压系统。未来，“白海豚”的残余低压缓慢东移，与东边新生低压逐渐靠近，进一步增强了杭州上空的辐合上升运动，加上季风源源不断输送水汽，预计13日—14日杭州的降雨量将会明显增大，局地可能出现短时强降水、雷雨大风等强对流天气。台风“白海豚”过后请大家做好日常除湿工作自从台风“白海豚”开始影响以来，杭州气温已经比前期明显回落，10日—11日主城区最高气温都不足30℃，今天起小幅回升到30℃出头。虽然达不到高温线，但前期持续降雨导致湿度显著升高，加上低压环流影响造成气压降低，整体感觉闷热潮湿，体感如梅雨季一般。大家可参照梅雨期的生活方式，做好日常应对，注意除湿降温，规避潮湿闷热天气引发的体感不适、衣物发霉等问题。此外，特别提醒大家，暑期也是旅游出行的高峰期，请大家务必密切关注沿途和目的地的天气预报及气象灾害预警信息，提前规划行程。如遇暴雨、强对流等灾害性天气，需主动规避各类风险，远离河道、山体、低洼积水、地质灾害易发区等危险区域。同时，全程严格遵守各景区安全管理规定，遵从景区工作人员指引，不擅自进入未开发、未开放的野外区域和危险点位，全力保障自身出行安全。温馨提示前期累计雨量大，请注意防范地质灾害滞后性可能导致的山体滑坡、泥石流、小流域山洪等次生灾害。
