The online community is expressing strong disapproval of this reckless behavior.
One of the challenges faced by celebrities, KOLs, and influencers on social media is the constant spread of fake news. In 2021 alone, numerous well-known figures with massive followings on YouTube fell victim to false rumors, including leaked private videos and sensitive chat logs. Among the condemned fake news, the most reprehensible cases involve those who shamelessly chase views by spreading untrue information about others' deaths.
The latest victim of this 'epidemic' is the renowned YouTuber NTN - Nguyễn Thành Nam. Born in 1994, NTN rose to fame as a phenomenon. Although there have always been baseless rumors surrounding NTN, creating an entire TikTok channel solely to 'commemorate' NTN is truly condemnable!
This TikTok channel consistently posts content falsely claiming NTN's demise
On TikTok, a channel using NTN's real name, Nguyễn Thành Nam, has emerged. The videos primarily spread false information about NTN's death in a traffic accident. Some clips even reached a staggering 4 million views. Furthermore, the creator often uses graphic and controversial imagery with a 'clickbait' title, disregarding the fact that it's all based on fake news.
NTN's latest video was posted on January 20, and he continues to regularly update his channel.
In the comments section, many netizens express both outrage and confusion. Allowing such controversial content to slip through and even trend on platforms like this falls under the responsibility of content moderation on TikTok.
- They keep posting videos regularly, yet claim they've passed away, unbelievable!
- Why does this distorted channel spreading fake news manage to exist?
- Each person should contribute to taking down this TikTok channel.
- TikTok's content moderation process is truly perplexing. How can they let content like this trend, falsely claiming someone is deceased?
NTN is recognized as one of the most influential YouTubers in Vietnam, born in 1994 and hailing from Thái Bình. Initially rising to fame within the CrossFire gaming community, he is considered one of the 'pioneers' in creating clickbait challenge content on YouTube.
