Please do not be indifferent!

The clip of a "boss" raising his hand as if signaling his men to assault a coffee shop employee in Hanoi has not yet "cooled down", but the clip of a young man abusing a pregnant woman in Dak Lak continues to heat up social networks...

Recently, such violent clips have been continuously appearing on social networks and being shared at a dizzying speed. Many clips recording scenes of fighting have received tens of thousands of shares and comments in just a few hours. More worryingly, from these violent acts, many "copycat versions" have been born and continue to spread very quickly.

This phenomenon shows that many people are considering violent clips as entertainment, unintentionally promoting wrongdoing, contributing to the spread of bad images, distorting the perception of a segment of the population, especially the youth.

Meanwhile, instead of reporting to the authorities, many people choose to post clips on social networks to create public pressure, urging the authorities to quickly handle violent acts. It is the widespread sharing that unintentionally stimulates curiosity, causing violent acts to be "normalized". There are teenagers who, out of curiosity and desire to be famous, imitate and stage clips to get interactions, causing more social consequences.

In fact, the police force and local authorities have mechanisms to receive and handle violent cases quite quickly. The problem is, people need to change their behavioral habits, instead of posting images and clips of violence on social networks, they should provide them directly to the authorities as evidence. On the contrary, the authorities must also ensure thorough handling, no forbidden areas, publicize the results of the investigation and handling, and promptly inform the public to create trust, avoiding the mentality of "having to post online to be resolved".

Each “like” and each share has contributed to the spread of violence. The curiosity and even indifference of the online community has given rise to toxic content, becoming a deviant trend. To prevent social networks from being overwhelmed by violence, there needs to be a coordinated response: content producers must have a sense of responsibility, digital platforms need to tighten management, and the user community needs to be alert and proactively “immune” to harmful tricks.

Entertainment must go hand in hand with humanity, it is impossible to justify sharing violent clips to “demand justice” for the victims. Because behind each seemingly harmless share, there could be a dangerous behavior being encouraged in real life.

A civilized society cannot tolerate “violent entertainment”. Certainly, when each citizen raises their responsibility, chooses the right channel to report and the authorities handle the situation transparently and decisively, violent clips will no longer exist, contributing to building a safe and healthy online environment.
