起因拥有超1340万粉丝的TikTok用户Faizal Siddiqui是近期上传的一段向女性泼酸性液体的视频，并在视频中威胁女孩离开自己去找另一个男人。在接下来的场景中，女孩的脸涂着厚厚的红色化妆品，表明自己被烧伤。当地各大媒体也在报道中对此事进行谴责，也引起印度用户对TikTok的抵制，同时也受到了印度全国妇女协会的关注。

Faizal Siddiqui, a tiktok user with more than 13.4 million fans, recently uploaded a video of splashing acidic liquid on a woman, in which she threatened the girl to leave for another man. In the next scene, the girl's face is covered with thick red cosmetics to show that she is burned. Major local media also denounced the incident in their reports, which also caused Indian users to boycott tiktok and attracted the attention of the National Women's Association of India.

结果，一波未平，一波又起，TikToker和YouTuber之间的"战争"一触即发。最近，在TikTok拥有几百万粉丝的Amir Siddiqui称"Youtuber不如TikToker，并且从TikTok盗取视频内容及创意"。5月8日，Youtube印度网红Carry Minati发视频嘲讽，结果被YouTube判定网络霸凌将该视频下降，紧接着Carry Minati的粉丝开始去应用下载商店，给TikTok打1分。5月17日，另一名YouTube头部用户也发了相关话题的视频，不到24小时播放量破700万。
