The thing is, this animation contains the characters and their school’s logo is added to it (a real school, not fictional schools), so the characters are holding the school’s logo.
Spoiler for this is an example, bro:
uh..yeah I took a photo from the most popular video
Actually, I’m not forbidding anyone from following this trend, but in my opinion this is a bit dangerous for personal data, because “school origin” is one of the personal data that must be kept confidential and this is very vulnerable to being used as material for bullying (in my opinion).
Hmmm, I don’t know where this trend comes from, but according to rumors, it is said that content from celebrity creators is something that many people imitate and become a trend.
If I’m honest, there should be trends that involve personal data (including the school of origin), even if it’s just a logo and doesn’t show the school, it shouldn’t be a trend. For example, if I upload a video for purposes, I’ll usually go private again or I’ll have a private account.
There are also many people who think “That’s a school logo, my account is still small”, “It’s okay to upload school documents and no one cares”, this is someone who is brave but also an easy target for doxxers, especially if the person is problematic.
Every activity on the internet definitely leaves a trace, (Digital footprint), (In my opinion) people on the internet really like to reveal other people’s data (I don’t know what the purpose is, maybe cyberbullying), and uhm…trends like this are not something new, but I’m just surprised to see content like this become a trend.
Maybe that’s the story of my thread this time, I don’t mean to judge anyone but I’m just telling the story of what I found and saw, and I don’t really care if there are people who do this trend as a symbol of pride and so on, the choice is up to you.
If there’s something missing, just add it, My honest reaction when I see videos like that, I think it’s a bit ridiculous, Sometimes internet trends just happen, there’s “this,” that, etc. etc.
The point is, just stay saved, if you want to join or join in on this trend, make sure it’s been edited, so it’s not prone to doxxing, and never share personal data on the internet, whether you’re given permission or not, just be careful, the internet world isn’t always beautiful.
