Why not? Don't click it if you don't won't too see.

Ok… So you’re fine with anything being shared online provided whoever doesn’t want to see it doesn’t click it?

Not trying to be an internet police. I just don’t think it’s appropriate to share. Serves no value to anyone.

What if that were you in the video? Or, what if it were your mum, daughter, sister, aunty, cousin?

The video serves as a warning.

The story of the incident and aftermath should serve as a warning.

If you can so easily and thoughtlessly share content like this… or be so blasé about people who reshare content like this… then it’s no wonder the internet is such a growing cesspool of hate and bullying. Actions like this is why the internet can be such a shitty place… and why you hear so much of kids necking themselves these days.

And this is why free speech is amazing, he wanted to share something, he did, I watched and yeah is what it is. God evidence for future

I wouldn't be in the video, or any of my family. We aren't that stupid to walk into the envelope of an operating ride.

 

Is this your first day on the internet?

maybe learn what free speech is mate. It’s not freedom to do whatever you want. It’s freedom to express your own opinion, values or beliefs.

Regardless… So what you’re saying if that was a video of a young girl being r*ped, there’s no need to worry about anyone resharing that… because “free speech is amazing”?

or maybe, a baby being brutally attacked by a dog? 

plenty of examples… but where do you draw the line? Or, is it a free for all because you know… “free speech” and all 🙄

How does me sharing a link to some idiot suffering the consequences of her stupid decision equate to some kid necking themselves?

what a weird thing to say. 

the video is public due to it being evidence to the case, which this topic is about. he did say what the video was and issue a warning so i don’t think there’s anything wrong with sharing public information of a mistake some woman made. however, a video of a young girl being assaulted isn’t the same as that’s not a choice, that’s an inhumane act of violence against someone.

Pretty simple if you actually read what I wrote.

The internet is increasingly becoming a shitty place full of bullying and hate because of people who easily and thoughtlessly reshare content without a care in the world. It is these actions and blasé attitude to these actions which leads to people (typically younger people) becoming significantly depressed and hurt, and ultimately (and increasingly) ending their own life.

the person in the video is suffering consequences from a mistake she made, a young girl being assaulted (which holds no relevance to this conversation at all) isn’t a choice. two completely different things. all that was shown was evidence to what this topic is about, he issued a warning as well.

It’s one of many examples I could put forth about how it’s not okay to just reshare anything on the internet because “free speech is amazing”.

The point I’m trying to make is, it doesn’t matter if the person is at fault or not, you can’t just share anything you want on the internet because “free speech is amazing” and “he wanted to share something” so “he did”.

That comment is ridiculous and negates any point you are trying to get across

Ok seeing as you’ve changed your comment…

Where is the video publicly available due to being used as evidence? What was shared is a dodgy copy from a TikTok that someone had removed.
It’s not the evidence that was submitted in court.

Regardless, based on your opinion, so long as a video is publicly available, and it’s of a mistake someone has made, then it’s fair game to be reshared across any internet forum… right?

Yeah maybe it was too extreme of an example, but the point still stands…

He said free speech is amazing. He wanted to share it, so he did.

So… That’s saying because “free speech” anyone is free to share whatever they want, so long as they want to share it. If you don’t like it, don’t click it.

But back to my question in that comment which has gone unanswered… where do you draw the line?

There is no bullying or hate in the video.  You linking the video to suicide is you trying to make someone look shit.   @Michelangelo

The line is determined by the platform the item is being shared on, and what the owners/moderators deem suitable/acceptable.

Given the video was relevant to the topic, I have no issue with it being posted, however I would have prefaced it a warning and description rather than just “here’s a video of the incident”, however its actual sharing - I think is fine - and I imagine the people making the decisions on this forum agree or it wouldn’t still be there

I disagree. The internet is becoming a shitty place because people who hold certain values or beliefs feel it is their place to identify content posted by someone else that they disagree with, and then proceed to berate them for sharing it. #karen

No, it doesn't. Video of rape would be video of a criminal act. Republishing it would potentially make you some kind of accessory or contributor to the damage towards the victim.

There is no crime here - the operators were found not to be liable to the accident, she did everything she shouldn't have done. She made a mistake. There are plenty of videos online of people making mistakes and paying a significant price. If you aren't comfortable with that, you should probably ask your mum to put the parental controls back on your ipad.
