So what is this??' I hear you cry... another challenge...

I can almost hear the exasperation in parents voices when they say 'have you not learned yet??' Well apparently not as there is a new viral challenge circulating on TikTok using variations of the hashtag 'foopah'  a play on the phrase 'faux pas' meaning an embarrassing public act. 

So why do them?

“I’ve gotten more traffic in the past couple of days just from doing these new TikToks versus the regular trends,”

What is this challenge? The challenge originated from one TikTok user as a way of promoting her Only Fans account. Her initial video, which included the subtle flashing of her breasts, gathered 2 million views in 24 hours. 

The trend encourages users to upload ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ nudity. This aims to get around the platform’s detection and moderation by being hidden in plain sight. Using screens, mirrors, and other reflective surfaces are just some of the ways people have taken part in the challenge.

AS I am sure you will agree, this has safeguarding concerns written all over it - please have a look at the link below that give you some indication of the risks and next steps that should be taken if your child has fallen for the social media trap  of uploading a video -
