Why sharks Circle their prey

@Thevy29 lol .. I can't help but wonder what kind of friends this guy has though. LOL I mean, the Dude Looks obviously unaware

@Jayciedubb Should we tell him or should we get the camera??
Sadly I know a few people who would and have gone for the camera...

@Thevy29 and it's getting worse. They're all over the internet. Especially YouTube. Like the ones where the truck will be driving down the highway unaware that his truck that is dump bed is raised all the way and rather than tell him, they get behind them and just capture the video. It should be illegal. We have that Good Samaritan act . It should have fall under that somehow

@Jayciedubb Was that the incident near Bristol, some months ago? In that incident the lorry had left Avonmouth Docks and was heading along the M5 motorway (not called a "highway" in Britain) when its raised body hit a bridge. It ripped the body from the vehicle but I don't know how much damage it did to the bridge.

(I learnt of that from friends living in the area, not antisocial-media.)

It would have been very difficult and dangerous for an ordinary motorist to have tried to tell its driver. I did once manage to pull a lorry over onto a motorway hard shoulder, for his trailer dragging a heavy chain that was spraying the rest of us with grit, but it took several miles to do so.

Nevertheless I agree that videoing others' misfortunes for cheap entertainment and peurile speculation should be banned, but the likes of YouTube don't do enough to stop it; while Telegram is notorious for no moderation at all.

Yes, they do close offensive or illegal posts sometimes, though to be fair they are swamped with the rubbish so it is a constant battle. Accepting that videos may be of genuine value as evidence (but then should become Police property and the originals deleted) I would go further: delete the first offence, but for repeat offending, permanently close the account and put a permanent block on the sending URL - with an "error message" to the effect of "Excluded for illegal, harmful or offensive use." If the material is illegal or likely to damage legal proceedings, send the material and the coward's identity to the Police.

Another form of "social"(???)-media wrong-doer is the so-called "disaster troll". These are the parasites who love, and some make money from, inventing fantasies about disasters, especially criminal outrages, and calling even victims who try to defend themselves from the false accusations, "liars". These obnoxious cowards need flushing out and banning for life from all social-media sites, and be laid open to civil or criminal legal proceedings.

@ArishMell I'm not sure where it happened. I've seen more than one of them. I really don't know what should be done because it's a slippery slope to censorship. What I've noticed with all these anti-bullying rules in place, they just turn the bullies from the strong to the weak.

Sites like quora have this bnbr rule that basically protects Liars and condemns those who Point them out. I've been threatened to have my account closed because I pointed out somebody was lying on a post about blackface.

It was by somebody who wanted attention so they made up a story about some black face incident that happened at school that she boldly and single-handedly stomped out. It seemed to be so far fetched to begin with, then I realized we were in the middle of pandemic and no schools were open or had been open for months so where could this have possibly happened. I got pointed out as being harsh and warned that if I kept it up, I was going to be banned.

I guess it was the issue that was the most important thing. Whether it was fiction or not apparently didn't matter , they just didn't want me interrupting the conversation about black face or a hero who put a stop to it.

Lol there was another post on a different site about a baby dolphin that had washed up in the Mediterranean somewhere and people were taking selfie type pictures with it and everybody in the comment section was condemning those people who kept it out of the water for so long. When I reminded everyone that dolphins breathe air and it was probably on its way out to begin with being a little separated from his mother. You would think I was Adolf Hitler himself with all the feedback I got from that. People don't like being caught stupid like that. It amazes me how hard people will maintain their ignorance once they've chosen a side.
