Kim Kardashian and her daughter North West are known for sharing glimpses of their lives on social media, including their TikTok account, @kimandnorth. However, according to recent reports, the account has been banned from the platform.
Several social media users shared screenshots on Thursday indicating that the account was no longer available on the TikTok app. The account had amassed 15.5 million followers and over 454 million likes, making it a popular destination for fans of the celebrity duo.
A look at the account’s page now shows a message stating “account banned” on the mobile app, and “couldn’t find this account” on web browsers.
So far, TikTok has not provided any explanation for the removal of the account. It is not clear whether the ban is temporary or permanent, or if any specific violation of TikTok’s community guidelines led to the account’s removal.
Kim Kardashian and North West are yet to comment on the issue. However, it is possible that they may create a new account on the platform or switch to other social media platforms to share their content.
This is not the first time that TikTok has faced criticism for its moderation policies. In recent months, the platform has faced scrutiny over its handling of content related to sensitive issues such as mental health and body positivity. However, the banning of Kim and North’s account appears to be unrelated to these broader concerns.
For now, fans of the duo will have to wait and see if the account will be reinstated or if they will need to follow their updates elsewhere.
