Manahil Malik Faces Backlash Over Viral Video, Sparks Debate on Social Media Ethics
Pakistani TikToker Manahil Malik has sparked controversy once again after a new viral video surfaced online. The video, featuring Malik and fellow TikToker ‘SK’ engaging in inappropriate behavior inside a car, has drawn severe criticism from social media users.
The incident has polarized opinions, with some dismissing it as a publicity stunt to gain attention, while others express concerns about the negative influence such content has on younger audiences. This is not Malik’s first scandal, as similar videos in the past have also attracted backlash. Previously, she has either avoided addressing the criticism or attempted to justify her actions.
The latest controversy has led to widespread condemnation, with many accusing Malik of seeking fame at the expense of ethical boundaries. However, a portion of her followers has defended her, arguing that the criticism violates her right to privacy.
This incident has reignited discussions about the ethical responsibilities of social media influencers and the balance between privacy and accountability. Under Pakistani cybercrime laws, creating and sharing such content is illegal, raising questions about the enforcement of regulations and the need for stricter oversight.
