A new wave of reactions has surfaced online as legal concerns are now being raised over TikToker Peller’s controversial cameraman job interviews.
Following claims that applicants, some with Master’s degrees, were unknowingly used for content, social media users are pointing out potential legal violations.
According to public commentary, those who appeared in Peller’s livestreamed video interviews may be entitled to compensation. Some argue that if participants were used in monetized content without proper written consent or clear compensation agreements, they could legally demand appearance fees or a share of earnings made from the videos.
Supporters of the affected applicants stress that education is not a scam, and basic knowledge of intellectual property rights and image use laws matters. A popular take reads: “Ignorance no dey protect you from liability o.” This situation has now shifted from social media banter to a larger conversation about ethics and legality in content creation, especially when job seekers are involved under professional pretenses.
