TikTok, the popular short video platform, has taken decisive action by permanently banning the account of Young C, a Nigerian individual who attempted a daring 24-hour challenge of being buried alive.

A thorough investigation conducted by RocketParrot revealed that Young C's profile is no longer accessible on the platform, indicating the permanency of the ban.

The incident unfolded on Wednesday when Young C garnered attention on TikTok and other various online platforms for his extraordinary challenge to spend an entire day buried alive in a coffin.

This daring feat drew comparisons to similar challenges undertaken by notable figures such as American YouTuber MrBeast, also known as Jimmy Donaldson, who previously spent 50 hours buried alive to raise awareness about deforestation.

In a bid to surpass his own record, MrBeast recently made headlines again by attempting a seven-day stint buried in a coffin, pushing through physical and mental hurdles before ultimately emerging from his subterranean confinement.

While such challenges often attract widespread attention and intrigue online, platforms like TikTok are tasked with enforcing safety guidelines and ensuring responsible content creation.
