Last Monday, Mawada El-Adham and four other female TikTok users were convicted and sentenced to prison terms for “violating family values” google.com/amp/s/www.alja… #بعد_اذن_الاسرة_المصرية
One of the reasons the Sisi regime is rounding up female TikTok influencers: the women have power. Mawada has 3 million followers!

When Mawada was arrested in May, I wrote about that power and why the Sisi regime targets the TikTok women

Attention is power. When you command it, you command power. Young, working class women who have millions of TikTok followers disrupt amd threaten patriarchy. And so patriarchy swoops in and punishes them
