A loan app has ignited controversy on social media by publicly posting photos of 87 debtors who allegedly failed to repay their loans.
The incident came to light through a series of videos uploaded to TikTok, where the app shared the debtors’ pictures across three separate posts.
Each video carried the caption: “Please settle your loans,” serving as a public reminder to those listed to clear their debts.
The move has ignited a broader conversation about the methods loan companies use to recover debts and the implications for personal privacy in the digital age.
While some supported the app’s efforts to recover unpaid loans, others criticized the approach as unethical and a violation of privacy.
