This platform used Tor. And because we want to protect privacy, they can make use of it.
This particular platform used tor. It doesn't mean all platforms are using privacy centric anonymous networks. There are incidents with people using kik, Snapchat, Facebook and other clear net services to perform criminal actions such as drugs or cp.
For anyone interested in the Kik controversy: There's a great episode of the Darknet Diaries podcast about it: https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/93/
