Content creators are racking up views filming women on the streets of London • The women say it feels like harassment • The police say it’s not illegal • Video platforms are slow to act

If you approach the same woman twice on the street and ask her sexually explicit questions, you could be arrested for harassment by the Metropolitan Police. But some London content creators have discovered that if you approach a different woman every day, film yourself doing it and post the results to TikTok or Instagram, then you can rack up millions of views – and the police can’t do anything.

      I feel like I’ve successfully navigated the Internet well enough that I haven’t seen any of these.

      And those sound awful.

        I’ve never been served one up, but I have seen a couple of videos talking about them. I recently saw one by Marina McBain, and the stuff in there is outright child abuse. Yet YouTube and tiktok etc allow and monetise this. I hope they as well as the parents get sued to oblivion by these kids.
