Some people are just unbelievably stupid. I never mind if stupid people hurt themselves through their stupidity, but killing someone else is another matter. I'm assuming no one here is dumb enough to stream and drive (or to post on Tik Tok, come to think of it).

Stuff like this keeps happening. To your point if people hurt themselves being stupid for social media it is one thing. It’s a whole other matter when they end up hurting or killing others.

Easy to sensationalize this because it's Tik Tok, but I honestly think this could happen to anyone. "Hit someone while talking on the phone", "hit someone while punching in navigation", etc etc
As much as I had a negative first reaction, I don't want to jump to conclusions too much here.

I agree that it's not TikTok per se, but livestreaming while driving (whatever platform) seems a step beyond a momentary distraction from looking at the phone (which is also bad, just less so).

I'm happy to judge a person on doing any of those things wile driving.
Like the lady swerving across two lanes the other day, almost hitting me while typing in something on her phone which she held above the steering wheel, presumably to still "see" ahead.
And no, I don't care if she was sending something banal like sexting, or meaningful helping in closing a 5 billion deal providing health care for underinsured people.
In each scenario, her behavior is equally stupid because achieving the same thing without risking others around here would have been trivially easy to accomplish.

Well, this is something that I want to see as isolate and extremely rare cases, otherwise things will go really bad for the whole planet. This TikTok is a real brain-washing machine.
