Tag for murder

Intro

Could tagging for murder be something that happens on social media. For example it could be that other people make videos and add you as a tag to the video and then the content of the video will put a false light on you, display you in a disrespectful way, be a reputation attack against you or even tag you for murder.

Could this be going on on social media?

Let me first give what I consider an anthropological explanation to this phenomena. Its crowding.

Human beings were meant to live, sure in cities and in villages and in forests etc. But what happens in cyberspace on social media is that you get a forum that contains billions of people. This is not a natural phenomena. This doesn't occur in nature. It occurs in cyberspace. This is an extreme form of crowding. Having billions of people in a forum.

What do you think would happen if they created a market square in a city that contained billions of people. There would be massive deaths, stampedes and violence between the people. Aggression would have a target because there would always be someone close to you. Chill out, no you cant because you cant walk away because wherever you go there is a crowd of people. That is the recipe for depopulation, for tagging to murder.

So this is social media. Its a massive square, a square for billions of people, a crowding experiment, and now you can tag people, expose people and tag them for murder.

Is this legal? Well first of all you would have to contact law enforcement to find out about that. The social media companies wouldn't care about it. They don't take down content that is threatening to a person. Social media companies do have policies but they don't really care about the reputation of individuals. Maybe if you are an important individual you can make them take things offline. But for normal people, I don't think they care and bother.

So I would claim that blatant tagging for murder does occur on social media and the social media platforms don't care about it.

But there are also more advanced users, influencers, who will tag for murder but do it in a way that gives them plausible deniability. That is obviously the safer way to do this, but could be equally nasty for the target and now he has no chance at all to stop it.
