Mother of Dublin Joyrider Tells Us: "TIKTOK is to Blame...it's Ruined His Life"

from Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

Five young men dead after a stolen car crash on the M9… and suddenly everyone’s asking the same question: is TikTok helping fuel “joyriding” for likes, fame and that dopamine rush? Adrian and Jeremy go head-to-head over whether social media platforms are simply hosting content… or are they complicit, enabling dangerous behaviour by letting these videos stay up. With live callers sharing everything from a car being recovered thanks to TikTok and Snapchat, to a former Facebook content moderator lifting the lid on what actually gets taken down. And then a message that stops the show: a mum admits her 18-year-old son is still out in stolen cars… and she blames TikTok.
