Hi I am writing this because 

As a concerned community member, I am raising a voice against the actions of Kevin Wright, also known on TikTok as mruktikktokofficial. This is personal to me, as multiple friends of mine have been adversely affected by his unthinkable behavior. The lowest point came when he wished cancer back onto a person who was in remission. His hurtful actions and words have left deep scars on many individuals.

Mr. Wright has been arrested multiple times for offenses including online and in-person harassment, particularly against women, theft, fraud, and false representation for personal gain. Unfortunately, despite being made aware of this, TikTok has continued to provide him a platform, inadvertently supporting his damaging actions and messages.

Given TikTok's popularity, with over 2 billion downloads globally, it is concerning that they are providing a platform to such a negative influence(Statista, 2020). This is a violation of TikTok's own Community Guidelines that expressly forbids content that “intends to cause harm to individuals".

This petition aims to ensure that Mr. Wright is removed from TikTok permanently to safeguard users from his harmful content. His continued presence poses a threat to user safety and fosters a negative environment counterintuitive to TikTok's purpose, which is to inspire creativity and bring joy.

In signing this petition, you will be standing for the victims of Mr. Wright's actions and promoting healthier and safer online spaces. Together, we can hold TikTok accountable in enforcing their Community Guidelines, ensuring that persons like Mr. Wright are not allowed to misuse and abuse the platform. Stand with us, sign the petition today.
