The Egyptian security services are reported to have detained a young woman who has a big following on TikTok in the latest arrest of a female social media influencer.
Hadeer al-Hady is reported to have been accused of posting "indecent videos" online.
On TikTok, she has mainly posted videos of herself lip-syncing to well-known Egyptian songs.
Several other Egyptian women - and a smaller number of men - have been arrested in recent weeks on charges of "inciting debauchery".
Egypt's public prosecution office has said it is patrolling the internet as if it were one of the country's borders.
