Ronnie McNutt was a man from Mississippi, United States, who tragically died by suicide on August 31, 2020. The event gained significant attention because it was broadcast live on Facebook, and the graphic video of his death was subsequently circulated widely across various social media platforms. The virality of the video sparked widespread discussions about the responsibilities and challenges that social media companies face in moderating content and protecting users from harmful material.
The incident led to criticism of platforms like Facebook and TikTok for not swiftly removing the video and allowing it to be shared and viewed by potentially vulnerable individuals, including children. This raised further debates on how to effectively implement content moderation and the ethics of sharing such distressing content online.
In response to the video's dissemination, social media platforms increased efforts to detect and remove the video, used warning systems for potentially disturbing content, and took steps to prevent it from being uploaded in the future. The incident underscored the necessity for better mental health support and resources both online and offline and highlighted the need for improvements in how social media platforms manage and respond to traumatic content.
