Inspired by recent plane-based TikTok drama, a PSA: Videoing strangers in public is typically a foolish idea, not everything that happens in your vicinity is a true-crime saga, and minding your own business instead of maintaining 24/7 surveillance is good for you.
A TikTok saga about a man on a plane seemingly outed for cheating has reopened debate on how social media habits threaten our privacy.
arent there a bunch of old ballads about that? The "they left because of the cheating" only it wasn't?
Even if he was cheating, this is the WORST way to find out. Everyone knowing your husband is cheating on you could be more traumatizing than the cheating.
Absolutely insane to document this on social media for the whole world to weigh in while knowing nothing of what's actually going on. What happened to just speculating and then telling a friend if it's that interesting?
This is one thing Germany does right.
Unless it's cops. Record cops. Leave everyone else alone.
I've also noticed how quickly people grab their phones when something bad is happening to a person rather than helping them out.
As a polyamorous person, this kind of vigilante action always terrifies me. You don't know the terms of someone's relationship and maybe you've just forced someone out of the closet which sucks so bad.
Why don't these people use that energy to keep in check politicians, cops, and shitty companies? Want to be a vigilante? Well you shouldn't, but if you must at least call out public figures.
This is just awful . Yes. Mind your own business.
