The Issue

I believe that it is our duty to keep our community safe, especially when it comes to protecting our children. TikTok is a platform used by individuals of all ages, including children as young as 13. It is deeply concerning to find out that a registered sex offender like Scotty Lee Russell, also known as MatorG, is allowed to participate in this space.

TikTok's policies are designed to create a safe environment for both kids and adults. Allowing individuals with a history of sex offenses to remain active on the platform undermines this safety and puts vulnerable users at risk. With millions of young users engaging daily, it is imperative to take action to prevent any potential harm.

Registered sex offenders have committed serious crimes, and their history suggests potential risk to children and other vulnerable individuals. According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, there are approximately 920,000 registered sex offenders across the United States, and many of them are repeat offenders. This statistic highlights the importance of proactive measures on platforms with youth audiences.

TikTok needs to enforce its policies strictly and consistently to prove its commitment to user safety. Removing Scotty Lee Russell from TikTok would demonstrate the platform's dedication to safeguarding its young users and rebuilding trust with the community.

For the safety of our children and the integrity of the platform, please sign this petition to urge TikTok to remove Scotty Lee Russell from their platform. Together, we can make a difference and ensure a safer online experience for everyone.

Scotty has personally made threats upon myself and many others. He consistently attempts to deny the fact the charges exist even after we brought him being registered. He has interacted with minors even after his two counts of sodomy unto a 9 year old and a 6 year old at the time. And is a repeat offender as it is. Let's get him completely off this app.
