Peek a Boob Too

Product Information

For summer 2019, Insta influencers are taking the look to the mainstream masses — by flaunting sultry swimwear with some serious undercleavage popping out. It's something that sex workers on TikTok are concerned about. Steph Oshiri, a Canadian adult content creator, tweeted that the Foopah challenge was a “bad look for us” and would have a negative impact on adult content creators’ ability to post safe-for-work content on TikTok in the future. “Next two weeks I’d expect to see a lot of accounts being banned or an update to guidelines,” Oshiri added. And besides, Andrews said, there’s no way of knowing for sure that the people in the videos are actually flashing. “Prove it,” she said. Some participating in the Foopah trend are quite clearly using their elbow or thumb in place of a breast or nipple appearing around the door. (Andrews copped to actually getting naked. “Yes, they are real,” she said, when asked if her videos showed her flashing her breasts.) That’s something Andrews, who has seen many of her accounts on TikTok get banned previously, agrees with. “You get banned for no explanation,” she said. “No rhyme. No reason. It's stupid.” i’m still mad as hell over vmas ruining maneskin’s performance, a shirtless man is fine but when it’s a woman suddenly it’s a problem and has to be censored? Get out of here with this bulls—t,” one tweeted.

Susan Collins jokes she'll 'wear a bikini' in protest of 'Fetterman Rule': 'There's no dress code anymore'We’ve talked to y’all a lot about swimsuits this summer. We’ve covered flattering options that elongate your legs , structured suits that hold up your DDs , plus-size cuties that are just that (actually cute!) —and now we’re here to talk about the latest trend that we just can’t ignore anymore. That’s right, we’re looking right at you, side boob. Although MTV cut away during her wardrobe malfunction, the bassist kept on playing —the show must go on, after all —and Måneskin fans weren’t pleased to see their performance interrupted, particularly since frontman David’s assless chaps weren’t similarly censored. Victoria De Angelis’ top appeared to fall off during the performance.

This is yet another instance where a content moderation system is pitted against an entrepreneurial younger audience base,” said Liam McLoughlin, a lecturer at the University of Liverpool studying content moderation. “These moderators are often given seconds to decide if content is rule-breaking, and from the Foopah examples I’ve seen, it’s taken me minutes to actually spot. So even if the content is flagged by the filter, human moderators might not be able to keep up.” It's no secret that Hollywood's biggest stars love a good lingerie-inspired fashion moment. But one gorgeous girl in particular (hint: Kendall Jenner) reigns supreme in this style of dress. The supermodel has taught us that underwear deserves to be seen outside of your bedroom and home — sans slippers, of course. With pieces that feature *gorgeous* lace detailing, whimsical embroidery, party-ready mesh, and unique cutouts, who wouldn't want to give the lingerie trend a whirl? And that’s just the beginning of this sort of content on TikTok. Over the last week and a half, TikTok users have been bombarded with videos in which users expose their breasts using a variety of blink-and-you’ll-miss-it techniques that manage to get around the platform’s content moderation systems. It’s all part of a trend called the Foopah challenge, named after the now-suspended account that initiated the flashing videos. According to the product description, this ruched style is “made for watching the sunset in Santorini.” Affordable UK brand Oh Polly is touting the cheeky trend by selling “underbust” styles, which include barely-there bikinis, T-shirt tops and cut-out one-pieces.

Around half of the more than 20 videos BuzzFeed News initially found had been taken down within 48 hours, with many of the accounts behind them terminated. But more videos had popped up to replace them. A TikTok spokesperson told BuzzFeed News, “Nudity and sexually explicit content is not allowed on TikTok. We take appropriate action against any content of this nature, including banning violative hashtags and removing videos. We continue to invest at scale in our Trust and Safety operations.” Ironically, De Angelis took aim at this very double standard during her red carpet interview earlier in the evening. The videos include ones in which people flash the camera from a distance, partly obscured by a door, or peek a nipple around a corner. Some are close-up shots of someone's face, with an object in the foreground on the edge of the screen that appears to be their nipple. Others show nudity in the reflection of faucets or mirrors. In addition to his concerns about the spread of explicit content to people who might not choose to consume it, McLoughlin is worried about the trend’s long-term ramifications. “Other content creators, who don’t break the rules, might find themselves subject to even harsher systems which target them directly,” he said. “I can certainly imagine those who talk about breastfeeding to be targeted, for example.” Others were concerned about the potential legal ramifications of creators exposing themselves to minors on the app, given TikTok’s comparatively young user base.

Are researches how social media platforms take an overly draconian approach to bodies and how content moderation guidelines are often weaponized by those who dislike women or seek to gain power over them. “One of the reasons why this might be happening, and one of the reasons why this weird format has started trending, is that moderation of bodies on social media is notoriously puritanical,” she said.
