Dangerous social media challenges spark concern

The arrests followed an investigation by the National Security’s Cyber Surveillance Unit, which identified disturbing content circulating on social media platforms. The videos reportedly showcased dangerous behaviours, including setting fires in public spaces using plastic water guns filled with gasoline. The reckless acts endangered public infrastructure, private property, and the safety of bystanders.

Authorities also discovered that the suspects were involved in hazardous driving stunts, endangering the lives of other road users. The activities, which were allegedly documented and shared to gain social media attention, have sparked concerns over the growing trend of risky online challenges.

During the operation, police confiscated modified plastic water guns, ropes, small knives, and a rented vehicle used in the dangerous driving stunts. The suspects are currently under judicial custody as the investigation continues under the supervision of the public prosecutor’s office.

Social media challenges under scrutiny

This incident has reignited debates about the impact of social media challenges on public safety. The trend of performing risky stunts for online popularity has led to increasing concerns about the safety of such activities.

Moroccan authorities have been actively monitoring online platforms for dangerous content. Last year, Morocco’s Minister of Justice Abdellatif Ouahbi, announced plans to introduce stricter penalties for social media misconduct, emphasising the need to safeguard public safety and order.

As the investigation unfolds, the arrests serve as a stark reminder of the consequences of engaging in reckless behaviours for social media fame. It also highlights the importance of responsible content sharing to ensure public safety and security.
