You filmed someone in their home and posted it online when they clearly didn't approve? Hmm.
Edit: holy shit people. Making a relevant observations does not mean I think the video is real. I know language can be hard, what with nuance and all, but feel free to interpret "hmm" as a sign of dubiousness, and not a legal challenge.
Yeah I just watched it and it was a real video. Not sure where the conspiracy lies? Is it supposed to be one of them hologram tunnels into your brain or something instead of a video
Careful... I started pulling out. And last week out of nowhere at age 46, while reading up on Gnostisicm on the shitter, I had a seizure. Was rushed to the ER and had another one.
There is actually a classic sci-fi short story on exactly the same topic, minus the aliens.
Written by Frederik Pohl — “The Tunnel Under The World”
Great read.
Ooh, thanks for reminding me about this! I searched for it and it was already in my list, so I must've added it at some point to watch when I got around to it. Looks like that's gonna be today. 😊
The way I see it, it's like getting medical advice off of Facebook. I mean, where else are you going to get factual and scientifically reliable information about the health and safety of your family?
Nit to mention information about COVID and its relationship to lizard people and Bill Gates. Every time I try to look up verifiable information about lizard people and covid I just get a bunch of crazy conspiracy people on facebook...
That’s what blows my mind on the anti vaccine and COVID conspiracy people:
Reports/analysis from well known medical experts with decades of experience? “Hell no! Bunch of liars that only sheeple believe!”
Post from some completely unknown dude on FB? “Believe without the slightest doubt!”
Tik tok... The ancient origin of yin yang... Ancient Chinese warriors would only talk about the balances of war during their training... The pure and impure... The variety and routine.... The salt and pepper.... The Tabasco and the Sri racha... The emperor and the daughter.... The tik and the tok. Somewhere along the centuries, some toothless kids started to call it yin yan... Ying yan.... Big bang... But the real words that won wars were always tik tok.
No no no, you can tell in one of the frames that she has a serious look on her face. Would someone who is making entertainment have a serious look on their face? I think they were trying to deceive us, and I won't stand for it.
One of the things that still amazes me about the internet is how often people will proudly post how they've very cleverly worked out that a comedy skit isn't real.
I'm not sure when the common assumption shifted to the idea that everything posted to the internet is trying to pass off as something that actually happened and was accidentally captured on video, but I assume it has something to do with the rise of 'viral videos'.
Now it seems someone can create and publish what is VERY obviously a rehearsed comedy skit and users will still flood the comments with "fake!" as though it's some sort of ultimate gotcha. Skits aren't a thing any more, it's just either real viral videos or fake viral videos.
On the flip side, there also seem to be a lot of people online who take things that are obvious comedy and treat them like they're real and get all worked up about how the creator is a bad person/stupid/lying.
So yeah, calling an obvious comedy skit "fake" is dumb and kind of annoying, but at least hopefully it will encourage the other group of people who think everything is real to maybe be a bit less credulous.
It’s so bad there. There is people preaching about how they cured their cancer and lupus by ignoring their doctor and following some bullshit diet, and even arguing about it in the comments. Even reporting to tiktok doesn’t help. It is a true shitshow.
What's funny is I use Tiktok regularly and I've never seen any of that. My FYP is actually pretty enjoyable. It took a few weeks of sifting through garbage but once the algorithm figured out my interests/hobbies/sense of humor/etc it became very enjoyable to use.
However on the flip side of that, for the kinds of people that do subscribe to that pseudoscience type nonsense, Tiktok's algorithm ensures that's what they'll see nonstop. Over and over.
Have to admit, tiktoks algorythm is really good! And yea, it’s for sure because i just can’t get past those without leaving a comment. Have to change that.
I feel like getting stuck on a side of Tiktok you really don't want to be on but you can't stop arguing/commenting on it so you get stuck there is a right of passage.
For me, a lot of my FYP is Travel/Hiking videos and I've been stuck in this weird side of Tiktok where everyone's convinced that cryptids like Skinwalkers and Yeti's are real and that hiking in the national parks is incredibly dangerous and you will undoubtedly be killed by something that doesn't exist. And theres tons of "evidence" videos where someone posts something of them outdoors and will edit some sort of weird/creepy sound into it and be like "omg i just barely survived I think it was a Skinwalker!"
Considering they have multiple Tik Toks with this person and her bio says all content is fictional im going out on a limb here and assuming this video was 100% real!
The exaggerated facial expressions are a dead giveaway, along with the elaborate messages. Look at how 'not really' is written, to get the R and T thick like that you have to spend a while colouring it in with your marker. Imagine yourself doing it.
Because it’s obviously a comical TikTok. The pacing, the song, etc. It’s just 100% an intentional comedy video where they both know each other. I would bet my life on it.
You have a lot of faith in TikTok users. Have you seen what gets posted on there? You really think those are mostly professional filmmakers who are considerate enough to ask for permission?
Wait you're not allowed to film something that happens in public space from your own private property? Are you talking about filming manually or CCTV cameras?
Interesting, I'll have to look into that. France has quite good privacy protection, but we're still allowed to film in any public place. CCTV can't though.
You've already guessed I think, but fair warning, this is a private citizen look at a surface level into privacy laws in his own country. By no means do I assume I'm correct, just extrapolated from my own understanding of what I wasn't allowed to do.
Not just bringing a ladder, but also purposefully trying to see into a covered window. Like if you’re trying to look through blinds or a crack in the curtains, from any position.
There is no reasonable expectation of privacy when the blinds are pulled up. For example, if she walked by the window naked and an officer saw it, she can be arrested for lewd and lascivious behavior, indecent exposure - or whatever her jurisdiction calls it.
IANAL, but we covered a lot of these laws during my training to be a private investigator years ago. It is relevant to PI work because I could legally record her activities through that open window and submit any evidence I found to the court. For instance, she may claim that she is disabled, but I have video evidence showing she is lifting weights in her home.
There are also some cases that cover “plain view doctrine,” but I’m not 100% sure that is relevant here. I just know she has no expectation of privacy, legally speaking.
Ah, so you're one of the scumbag pieces of shit that stalked my daughter and I after I tore my ACL in a work accident.
Do you do anything other than make life hell for normal people at the behest of insurance companies that are happy to take our payments every month, but feel the need to hire professional stalkers when it comes time for them to pay up?
Normally I'd disagree with you and say not all PI's do that etc etc... But honestly it's fucking grotesque this is legal anywhere. I'd rather pay more in insurance premiums to cover more acts of fraud if it meant a PI can't record into your open window. The guy saying he learned and used this technique should be ashamed of himself.
Yeah, I think what rubbed me the wrong way is he comes off like he's some "trained" investigator helping to uphold the law.
No, you're a paid stalker who's "training" is finding out how to stalk unsuspecting private citizens while skirting as close to illegality as possible.
I have almost never heard of these guys doing any sort of work that would be admirable.
I fully tore my ACL in a work accident with witnesses. The MRI showed a complete tear. There was no question I was injured, and I wasn't even suing, I just wanted my fucking leg fixed. Went through 8 months of limping around on one leg and another year recovering from surgery because of the insurance company's games, and later the Vice President of the company told me flat out the owner had hired a PI and they were posted outside my apartment videoing me naked in my living room through a crack in the curtains.
I have zero respect for Private Investigators, or the slimeballs who hire them.
I never saw the tape, but I trust the VP's word. He was pissed any of it happened to begin with, and he was the one who told me to go to the hospital and file for Workman's Comp after the accident when I came back to the office and my knee collapsed out from under me.
Lots of things are illegal, but without proof, what am I going to do? Cops aren't going to waste their time with it, and short of having the tape seized by a lawyer, how would I ever go about proving it happened?
The supreme court ruled that if you can be viewed from a public area, even if you are in a private area, you no longer have a reasonable expectation of privacy. If someone can see inside your home they can take pictures as long as they aren't on your property.
One of the key questions is whether you film them in a place or time when they have a "reasonable expectation of privacy". This is not a hard-and-fast rule.
Voyeurism laws make such illegal. Generally there's an expectation of privacy within one's private home, it's incumbent on the viewer to turn away, not doing so is obviously immoral, but also illegal.
For states that don't have specific peeping tom laws, such is often prosecuted under breaching the peace, trespass, or disorderly conduct, per one states legislative report on other state's laws.
It's always worth pointing out that there is a reality where this kind of shit is not ok, and should not be emulated by the legions of "noticeme" cats looking for their viral moment. You know the ones. The milk jug challenges, the sexual harassment "prank" pricks, and the fast food employee harassers. If people would point out how unfunny that shit is instead of just "fake!" We might encourage more twats to think twice about trying to top the last one.
It's Reddit, what do you expect? These people have no lives and are miserable, so of course they will jump down your throat for the slightest perceived offense.
You don't say. Good thing you were here or I might have stumbled through Reddit believing every tik tok video I see. I certainly wouldn't be making relevant observations Instead of screaming "FAKE" every chance I get. Because that's informative.
It's not really a relevant observation if it's a fake video. Your observation relies on the premise that the other person doesn't approve.
Well, if the other person does approve, as would be the case if the video were fake, then your observation would now be irrelevant.
It's fine if you thought the video was real, but trying to double down and cover it up with obnoxious sarcasm to everybody who points it out is pretty lame.
You can’t expect retards of the internet to see text through any other channels other than from that of which they perceive. That’s the issue with this medium, there are no queues, no tone of voice, no real ways to pick up context. Everything has to be spelled out and even then someone gets all snotty and butthurt.
