Other flash mobs

The strangest challenges
The list of ridiculous videos includes:
The strangeness does not end there, but the most surprising thing is that such materials are willingly supported by thousands of visitors.
Trump rally failure
Mass registration for a meeting with the former US president and subsequent ignoring led to the fact that the stadium was 2/3 empty. The Trump team 3-5 days before the event boasted a million applications from supporters, and about 6 thousand people came, which is a complete failure of the politician (in terms of public support).
Malicious
Young people and schoolchildren are not always able to realistically assess the benefits and harms of advice from the next video sequence.
The most ridiculous include recommendations for self-removal of moles. Not always a pigment spot on the skin is a harmless blue nevus, sometimes a dormant oncology is hidden under it. Removal attempts lead to the multiplication of malignant cells and further treatment with a low percentage of recovery.
Hooliganism
Known violators of the order include Kostya Kievsky (Lakeev), who gained popularity not only as a newsmaker, but also as a participant in anti-government actions. The guy not only filmed indignant people, but also personally participated in the movement. For throwing snowballs at a government car and jumping on the hood, Konstantin is on trial for hooliganism.
In support of Navalny
The return of the politician to the country, the subsequent arrest caused unrest, and videos appeared on the social network calling for a rally demanding his release. The response was pro-government videos intimidating dissenters and threatening police with gunfire.
The last straw for the incumbent president was the defiant removal of his portraits in educational institutions and the replacement of Navalny with a photo. After the release of the first video, the teenage resource instantly became the main enemy of the government.
Security measures
The videos contain useful tips on hygiene, rules for protecting against Covid-19 (facts about the disease, vaccines, mask mode). Forced quarantine caused a surge in social networks: communicating, people tried to forget that they were forced to spend the whole day locked away from friends and acquaintances.
By having their own channels and organizing flash mobs, tiktokers increase the number of subscribers. The latter should be wary of the proposed treatments, appeals and advice. Not everything is good for health, and in some cases refers to illegal actions.
