On the Internet, people easily take true things that may not be true at all. That’s why media criticism is also worth keeping in mind in the lighter content, writes Niilo Helminen, editor of Iltalehti.
Coldplay’s Boston gig rose to the headlines with Kiss CAM. Zumawire / mvphotos
CEO of Astronomer Technology Company Andy Byron and his colleague Kristin Cabot They hardly knew what kind of soup would be like after Wednesday’s Coldplay gig.
The two were immortalized in the so-called kissing camera at Boston’s British band. The obviously surprised reaction to the situation was likely to give birth to speculation about a secret relationship. Even singer Chris Martin responded to the situation on stage for the first time.
In social media, the situation was immediately awakened. Numerous memes have been made of the duo’s reaction, which have been used in the publications of both individuals and corporate social media. Internet seal police found the social media profiles of the parties almost immediately and suspected deception has been convicted of many social media publications.
The undersigned has also received joy from the memes born after the incident. At its best, especially Tiktok videos and various parody of the couple’s reaction have been ingenious.
However, one of the shadows of a video from a Coldplay gig is related to the controversy. There is a huge amount of false information on the move.
So far, there is no official confirmation that the relationship is official.
The case also has a huge amount of purely incorrect information, which is upholstered as parody. Vulnerable According to the message service X last week, an update that looked like a publication by Astronomer. In it, Byron apologized to his family, wife and employees.
The post turned out to be wrong.
Tiktok in millions of likes a week has collected userwho claims to be Byron’s son. In the comment box, some users believe the father-son relationship is true, some are skeptical.
I know how wonderful it is to immerse in the phenomena of pop culture through various threads, upgrades and satirical memes. The memes created by Byron and Cabot case have also laughed at the signatory.
For example, Tiktok is a great platform for pop culture content. Still, sometimes I wonder if the content brought to the algorithm is a bit too sensitive.
On the Internet, people easily take true things that may not be true at all. Therefore, media criticism is also worth keeping in mind in the lighter content.
Satire and parody are difficult species, and they may not open in social media for everyone, unless the context is certainly clear. When making satire content, it is a good idea to keep in mind whether you will accidentally confirm or spread a claim that doesn’t really have a truth base. Of course, the same goes for non-humorous content.
So, even though the time proven at Coldplay’s gig is a lot of talk, only the parties are aware of the true side of the matter so far.
