Police warn against \u201cillegal\u201d Heartbeat challenge as old TikTok trend returns TikTokTikTokers have been warned against doing the \u2018Heartbeat Challenge\u2019 of kicking people\u2019s doors to the tune of a Kesha song as police say it could land them in hot water as it is \u201cillegal.\u201d While it may have started out life as a platform for artists to share songs, dance routines, and art pieces, TikTok has become home to a wide range of content that spans pretty much every corner of the internet. Naturally, there are plenty of videos that cause people to raise their eyebrows at whether or not they not only break TikTok\u2019s rules, but could also land the users in trouble as well. There have been a few examples of these recently, especially with the Kool-Aid man challenge, but an older challenge has been resurfacing in the UK. TikTok Heartbeat challenge makes return in UK after police warn against it That\u2019s right, the Heartbeat challenge \u2013 which sees TikTokers kicking doors to the tune of Kesha\u2019s 2012 song Die Young \u2013 has started to have a bit of a resurgence in the UK. It was originally started back in 2021, but a recent video uploaded by Niks_1805 showed two young males making a video of themselves kicking a door in time with the song. They were caught on the TikToker\u2019s doorbell camera as they scurried away, laughing at what they\u2019d done. Naturally, some users were pretty shocked by it, and couldn\u2019t believe that the 2021 trend had made a return. While the challenge isn\u2019t as dangerous as others, it is vandalism and police have previously wanted that TikTokers could get in trouble as videos will be investigated. \u201cIt\u2019s not just a bit of fun \u2013 it is frightening, anti-social and, in some cases, illegal,\u201d PCSO Sarah Rex from Herefordshire Police told the Liverpool Echo. As it stands, the trend hasn\u2019t quite made a sweeping return, but there are a few instances of it happening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
