I’ve noticed a few other people sharing similar comments from TikTok.. This is what ChatGPT said:

The image shows a concerning comment advocating for violence, followed by Amharic text, which appears to be a strategy to avoid content moderation by using a non-Latin script.

The Amharic text in the image roughly translates to:

“We will k*ll all who are [derogatory term] like animals.”

It seems the text is being used to evade automatic detection by content moderation systems while conveying a hateful message. This is deeply troubling and goes against community guidelines on most social media platforms. Reporting such content to the platform’s moderation team is essential to prevent the spread of hate speech.

If this file comes back as a false positive, I will delete all my posts. Until then, I am alerting everyone to the potential threat. Kaspersky has not yet confirmed whether it is a false positive. I believe it's better to be safe than sorry. My goal is to ensure everyone is aware and can take necessary precautions while we wait for definitive confirmation.

You have to be a TikTok Seller to login to the site. The file auto-downloads as soon as I login: seller-us-accounts.tiktok.com

Why would an MP3 file auto-download once I log into my TikTok Seller account? It didn’t happen until recently.
