Kik is a social media platform that allows users to create and share groups of friends. On July 15, Kik announced that it was suspending all accounts for two weeks because of “unauthorized activity.” Kik said the suspension was in response to “unauthorized posts and comments” on the platform. The suspension came as a surprise to many users, who had been using Kik to connect with friends and family. Kik has more than 1 billion active users, making it one of the most popular social media platforms in the world. Kik’s decision to suspend accounts comes as a bit of a mystery, given that there have been no reports of any unauthorized activity on the platform. However, some users are speculating that the suspension may be related to an upcoming lawsuit filed by Facebook against Kik. Facebook is accusing Kik of infringing its intellectual property rights.
