After 7 deaths, UK pressures TikTok over driving videos
- Britain told TikTok and other platforms to remove videos that celebrate dangerous driving and put road users at risk, on August 24.
- The call followed an A66 crash near Middlesbrough on August 22 that killed two police officers and five young men.
- UK Defence Minister Luke Pollard said platforms must 'step up', while regulators were backed to act against breaches.
- TikTok says harmful-content rules already ban such posts. Police also arrested 12 people over suspected criminal activity.
