A well-known Egyptian social media influencer has been detained in Saudi Arabia on suspicion of publishing pornographic material.

Tala Safwan, who has 800,000 subscribers on YouTube and five million on TikTok, attracted criticism online after allegations that a recent video had lesbian overtones.

However, Ms. Safwan claimed that was not what she had intended.

However, the police in the firmly conservative kingdom warned that the film would undermine public morality.

The young vlogger targets youngsters with her bubbly, lively style, short, dark hair, and expressive face.

She organizes challenges and plays pranks, just like many other well-known content producers throughout the globe.

However, a recent video of hers elicited a totally different response.

She is seen in the video conversing with a Saudi woman acquaintance whom she invites over to her residence.

Some people have taken her subsequent comments to be sexually provocative.

That sparked a significant campaign against her, with the hashtag “Tala offends society” trending on Twitter.
