The mobile phone is like another appendage for many people. We can rarely see someone who is alone on public transport or traveling without holding their smartphone. The extreme prominence of these devices in our lives sometimes translates into a violation of other people’s privacy.
We are so used to using the camera that we often record people accidentally and without their permission. Something that, apparently, some users take advantage of indiscriminately, as happens in this brief story.
Caught TikToker and content creator Mckinley Richardson has published an uncomfortable situation in which she realized that a passenger was recording her when she was on the plane.
The reaction. Seeing that the boy repeated the action of recording her and taking photos of her over and over again without her consent, she decided to respond with her own medicine. Mckinley grabbed her phone pretending she was looking at something, when she actually had the camera on.
Waiting for the exact moment, he focused on the annoying passenger, who was returning to the fray. When he realized that the young woman had noticed everything, he suddenly tried to hide it without success. “I caught him in 4K,” he writes in the video description.
In numbers. The video has nearly 6.5 million views at the time of writing these lines, in addition to 620,000 likes and more than 920 comments. In most of them, it stands out that the person in the middle of the two is Jack Doherty, a popular YouTuber with more than 11 million subscribers, who turns out to be Mckinley’s companion.
Top comments. “The guy was probably recording Jack Doherty. It’s a regrettable practice anyway.”
“The guy in the middle has millions of dollars and yet he flies economy class”
“You caught them doing what he was doing,” one user reproaches. To which the protagonist assures that the boy had been recording her for a long time and that she did it as a form of corrective action.
“Eye by eye, tooth by tooth”
