An Egyptian TikTok creator has been sentenced to prison over a clip in which she told girls that they could make money by posting videos to social media.

The Cairo Criminal Court convicted Haneen Hossam, who is in her 20s, of “human trafficking” but brought her sentence down from 10 years in prison to three years behind bars and a $10,800 fine, a judicial source told AFP.
