Naples. Launching into the sea with an electric scooter is the new social network Challenge.
A challenge between Internet users with splashes of water and idiocy that unites the two worlds, the virtual one and the one of everyday reality. Some users have reported to the Regional Councilor of Europa Verde Francesco Emilio Borrelli a video posted on TikTok.
The video shows a boy, with a towel tied around his shoulders like a superhero cape (whose superpower could very well be ultra-idiocy) launching himself, on board a scooter, towards the waters of the Pier San Vincenzo of the Molosiglio Gardens in Naples.
“On social media, new trends and challenges are constantly emerging in which the protagonists of the videos risk getting seriously hurt. We persist in denouncing this phenomenon because, especially in these cases, social networks are not a reality in themselves and separate from the real world.
Those who get hurt to make those videos, really get hurt, without taking into account the phenomenon of emulation. We need to keep an eye on what is happening. We say to the kids: enough with this nonsense that can also harm you, if you want to leave traces of yourself, do it with something constructive and intelligent, something that can also be much more long-lasting", the words of Borrelli and the radio host of The Radiazza Gianni Simioli.
