As parents continue to worry about the potential risks of the "Momo" challenge, Kim Kardashian warns fans of Instagram and asks YouTube to address the problem.
Disturbing Mimi spread this week for the second time after police in the UK received relevant parental messages about videos found in social media for their children.
"Momo" is a creepy figure who dare children to engage in dangerous behavior or even harm themselves, although it is not clear how widespread the videos are.
In two posts on Instagram's story, Kardashian asked YouTube to help remove the challenge from its platform.
In either case, Kardashian placed a tag on YouTube requesting help and asked parents to report disturbing content on the app. "Please watch what your children see!" I wrote.
One of the most well-known real-life television families, Kardashian first entered the spotlight with "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" (2007-). In a short period of time, they were able to draw the attention of the world. Let's take a look at how it has changed over the years.
Despite reports from parents via social networks, YouTube asserts that they have not found disturbing sections of their platform.
YouTube on Kardashian responded directly to its Instagram experience on Wednesday. "We take these reports very seriously," YouTube wrote. "We are."
The Momo Challenge got international recognition last summer and was initially considered a hoax and seems to disappear soon after its spread.
But while it may have begun as a hoax, online trolls have captured the fear it has instilled in both children and parents.
This week, parents across the UK were told to find the game on WhatsApp as well as being hidden within children's videos across social networks.
"WhatsApp cares about the safety of our users," a spokesman for WhatsApp told CBS News on Tuesday.
When children participate in the challenge, they allegedly contact Momo, who uses a creeping image and communicates primarily through application and attachment.
Momo encourages a participant to accomplish many tasks if he wants to avoid the "damned", and some involve self-harm.
The challenge is supposed to end with Momo telling the participant to take his private life and record it in the social media.
