TikTok Shop selling swastika necklace marketed as 'bold' and 'stylish'

A necklace featuring a swastika symbol was recently listed for sale on TikTok Shop, described as a 'bold' and 'stylish' accessory. The listing, which was promoted to users through targeted advertisements, sparked outrage online, especially after screenshots showed a model wearing the necklace over a shirt with the word 'FORGET,' a phrase often associated with Holocaust remembrance. The product description was later changed to refer to the symbol as a 'Buddhist manji symbol' before the listing was removed. Jewish advocacy groups and social media users voiced concern and anger over the sale, highlighting the ongoing impact of antisemitic symbols being marketed on major platforms. TikTok Shop is not the first retailer to face backlash for selling items with controversial imagery, as similar incidents have occurred with other online stores in recent years.
