The Tale Of A Sick Society’s Children: Instead Of Mass Reporting, This Private Video Was Massively Shared By Social Media Users

Social media is taking a toll on the young by snatching their morals, ethics and more importantly, the precious time from them.
A private video of a boy and girl leaked by a miscreant took internet by storm and instead of mass reporting the video, it was shared and viewed by millions of people and thousands of social media users uploaded the video without any remorse, just to fetch views on their social media handles.
K-Twitter, known for its toxicity, racism and negativity played its role in making the video viral by writing long threads coated with fake morality lessons, hence prompting other users to search for the video which in turn added more fuel to the fire.
Hundreds of Twitter users shamelessly messaged and tweeted their fellow users, asking them to provide the link to the video and several users were seen providing the link which led the users to the video.
So far as Facebook is concerned, the video was first uploaded by a Facebook handle which had earlier shared some Islamic narration videos as well and surprisingly, till this report was filed, the video on this handle had already garnered more than 5 lakh views, with 7 thousand likes, 4 thousand comments and 2 thousand shares.
Had only half of the users who watched this video on the social media handle in question reported the video, the video by now would have been taken down by the Facebook. Instead mass reporting, they amplified the video and played a vital role in making it more available on social media.
