Social media are regularly used for circulating news and sharing whatever you're doing with your friends in the form of status updates, pictures, or videos. This can be really fun and addictive, and although spending a lot of time on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram might distract you from living in the moment, it usually won't actually hurt anybody. It also goes along with an Internet Safety Aesop since you should think twice before you post something on the internet. But what if you find yourself in a dangerous situation that requires rapid action, such as a natural disaster, a medical emergency, or a crime in progress? The logical thing to do in this case is to either run to safety if you can't help or hurry to the victims' aid if you can...and yet some people are so hooked on social media that their first impulse is to start posting about it there before they even think about responding to the emergency. Sure, whatever's happening is newsworthy, but it'll be too late to do anything about it if you waste precious seconds fiddling with your screen. This is Truth in Television due to its roots in human psychology — when you see an outright incredible scene, it's so hard to believe it's actually happening that your first reaction will be to actually prove it's real by putting it on the Web. It can also be an aspect of Bystander Syndrome where everybody assumes that someone else is already taking care of it and that there's nothing for them to do but watch. Keep in mind that social media can also be used legitimately for sharing information during a disaster when other means aren't available, or more specifically submitted to the proper authorities as evidence of a crime being committed; this trope is specifically about using it in a way that's inappropriate for the situation. Compare with the Intrepid Reporter, a professional journalist who ought to know the risks they're taking by being there; the Apocalyptic Log, which is left by someone in case they don't survive to tell the tale, instead of by some Twitter addict who just doesn't realize how much danger they're in; and Endangering News Broadcast, which is usually more dangerous to the subject than to the filmer. Related to New Media Are Evil and Everything Is Online. Subtrope of Skewed Priorities and Social Media Is Bad. This is a common trait of a Selfie Fiend, and even more prevalent with the Bad Influencer. |

Played for laughs in Scream Queens (2015). Chanel #2 is alone in a room with the series' Serial Killer and chooses to tweet about it instead of calling for help. She's promptly murdered right after. After being fatally stabbed, she clings to life just long enough to post her final tweet before expiring. | |

Fun Jungle: Quite a few people following a trend of streaming videos of themselves spanking zoo animals in Tyrannosaurus Wrecks, are mentioned as having been badly injured in the process. In Bear Bottom, a tourist named Morton provokes a herd of elk while taking selfies, then continues taking selfies in the middle of being chased by an angry bull elk that gouges his butt. Then immediately after getting out of the hospital, he climbs into an angry rodeo bull's pen for another selfie and ends up being chased into an outhouse, which gets knocked over, leaving him Covered in Gunge. |

Anna and the Apocalypse: "#Evacselfie" becomes a trending topic as people take photos of themselves at evacuation centers, often posing with the zombies on the other side of the fence. Steph reacts appropriately. Subverted with Chris running back to grab his phone after he drops it. Steph criticizes him for trying to risk his life to retrieve a piece of glass and metal, but Chris explains that what he really wants is the photos of his girlfriend and grandmother that were saved on the phone, as they may be the last he sees of them alive. |

Persona 5: The fickleness of social media in general plays a huge role in this game, particularly regarding the forum that the Phantom Thieves use to collect intel on their targets. The media flip-flops between laying it on thick/abusing the thieves' services, and turning on them and labeling them pariahs. This gets especially troubling for the thieves when the head of The Conspiracy they've been fighting against confesses to his crimes; his lackeys slander the thieves on social media sites and the people of Tokyo eat it up, no questions asked, despite the fact that Shido and his party had absolutely no interest in Japan's welfare. It comes to a head during the Very Definitely Final Dungeon, where you learn that all of Tokyo embodies the sin of Sloth and serve as the masters of the aforementioned dungeon along with the Final Boss. It also doubles as commentary: the people of Tokyo would rather be told what to do than divert from the expectations laid out before them, and one symptom includes taking things at face value. One early-game scene exemplifies this: as Shiho lies in Shujin's courtyard after a bungled suicide, Ryuji and the Protagonist swiftly run down there, only to find a mass of students snapping photos and shooting video footage, with Ann being the only one who even tries to help (via riding along with Shiho in the ambulance). Ryuji says it best— |

Subverted in the Doctor Who Magazine strip "Liberation of the Daleks". At first it appears that the alien family visiting 1966 Earth are both callously and suicidally unconcerned by the Dalek invasion, as they take lots of selfies to post to a galactic Instagram-equivalent. Then it turns out that the whole thing's just a theme park simulation, and they know it. | |

Subverted in Yandere Simulator: The bullies are very dangerous obstacles because of their penchant for social media. If they catch Yandere-chan in the middle of a murder, they will swiftly take a picture and try to post it to social media, requiring Yandere-chan to murder them and crush their phone so proof she's a murderer doesn't leak out. This applies to anyone holding a cell phone, really, but Phone Addicts like the bullies and the Gaming Club do it much faster than anyone else holding a cell phone. | |

The Institute: Early in the story, police officer Tim Jamieson is forced to fire a warning shot to apprehend an armed and intoxicated teen, but the bullet ends up knocking down a lamp from the ceiling, which then falls on top of a bystander who, instead of doing the sensible thing and run, stayed to film the whole altercation. It costs Tim his job since the guy got injured. Once he makes his way to DuPray, he is hired by the local sheriff who has zero sympathy for the injured bystander specifically because it was this trope and overlooks the incident when hiring Tim. | |

Cut to two different mobs on the front lawn, one pro-Mutant, one anti-Mutant and both wanting to see the angel. Hank refuses to see how this is his fault. |

They joined the Caper Crew heading into the walled-off part of the city not just to provide firepower, but also to promote themselves. The moment they step inside the walls, they immediately take a selfie together. Chambers' early death causes Guzman to quickly snap out of it, though. | |

DuckTales (2017): Mark Beaks is featured in an episode wherein he is constantly threatened by a hired thief named Falcon Graves. Falcon was hired to steal "Project Tadah", the company's upcoming product. Despite this, all Mark cares about is taking photos of himself with Falcon and updating his current status on social media. Falcon promptly destroys Mark's phone, but he keeps pulling out replacements and documenting every moment on social media. At first, one might think this is subverted given that Mark himself hired Graves in order to steal the nonexistent project so he could keep the money the investors gave him, so he had little reason to feel threatened. But upon seeing his last phone tossed off the roof of the company, Mark dives down after it, catches it, takes a selfie, and types "YOLO" before hitting a trampoline he did not know would be there. Zigzagged with Dewey (and to a lesser extent, Louie) in "The Town Where Everyone Was Nice!" Dewey and Louie spend most of the episode on their phones instead of experiencing the local culture for real, which Webby calls them out on. This escalates to Dewey taking pics on his phone even as a carnivorous plant is about to devour him. However, Dewey's pictures also help Webby identify the threat in the first place, downplaying the trope. |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: In Thor: The Dark World, Jane Foster is trying to get civilians to evacuate. She's incredulous they're not only still around after the Big Bad and Thor are duking it out after the landfall of a giant alien ship but are all rushing to the windows to get their cell phones out. One even asks her if she's kidding about leaving, since Thor's right there. A few years later in Spider-Man: Far From Home, Flash keeps livestreaming to his Instagram followers while they're running from the super elemental illusion in London. This is a double-edged sword; on the one hand, Mysterio's tech crew is able to use it to target the kids since they're trying to kill Ned, MJ, and Betty, but on the other hand, Happy is able to use it to rescue the kids, since Peter tipped him off that Mysterio was targeting them, and once Happy finds them he gets Flash to turn off the stream. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings: A livestreamer named Klev catches Shang-Chi's fight with some Ten Rings goons on a bus. He continues livestreaming even as the fight puts everyone in peril (though he does justify not getting involved — when he sees the bus driver get knocked unconscious, he relays to his viewers how "Every time I try to drive a bus, I get yelled at.") |

The 2018 version of GeGeGe no Kitarō: A young man decides to run around in Shibuya traffic and disturb the locals so he can get views on YouTube for it. He turns into a red-leaved tree not long after. Why was he transformed? His previous video showed him tearing off a talisman and breaking the rock it was attached to in the same careless style, unwittingly releasing the youkai inside. And then bystanders take pictures of the aforementioned tree, in which some of those who took pictures of the tree turn into the tree, causing Shibuya to turn into a red forest. In episode 22 when the Gyuki comes to the island town during a festival, the people think it's an entertainment and begin taking pictures of it. It is only after it eats the selfie-takers that the people realize it's a monster and start panicking. |

According to his Character Blog, it didn't even work. In "Gem Hunt" Steven takes his promise to take photos of his friend Connie's first mission for her parents a little too seriously. For instance, taking a photo of the hostile super-soldier who's currently taunting him with the Gem she just ripped out of a giant monster. |

The main characters in Bodies Bodies Bodies are all presented as twentysomething versions of Phoneaholic Teenagers whose bad behavior on social media leaks out into real life, and nowhere is this clearer than with the ending, where the killer turns out to be nobody at all. David's death, the inciting incident for the plot, happened because he was trying to film himself opening a champagne bottle with a kukri for a TikTok video. While drunk. No points in guessing what happened to him, though it takes the entire movie, after the rest of the cast had killed each other out of suspicion that one of them was the killer, for Bee and Sophie to finally discover the evidence on his phone. | |

Black Mirror: The trailer for series 2 shows (among similar images) a crowd filming on their phones whilst a homeless man is murdered in front of them; and dozens of people holding up their phones as a huge, ominous dark cloud comes along to swallow them up. In Black Mirror: The Waldo Moment, a cartoon bear named Waldo runs in a by-election in England as a joke candidate, receiving criticism from competing traditional political candidates (who believe he makes a mockery of the democratic process) but also massive appeal from the voting public. Waldo ends up coming second behind the stuffy, humourless Jerkass Conservative candidate, but ultimately he turns out to be the last politician to win a British by-election: the Waldo movement not long after takes over Britain and turns it into a barking mad, populist Police State and worse, seems to be spreading across the world too. |

Watch_Dogs: One of the random conversations in has someone lamenting that onlookers were more concerned about snapping photos and videos of an accident than helping.

Blitzo being able to goof off while slaughtering people highlights how much the fight is a Curb-Stomp Battle in the imps' favor. In "Seeing Stars", Octavia had run away from home to Los Angeles, but she can't help but take photos of herself in front of interesting landmarks. Accidentally stumbling upon her posts on Sinstagram is how Loona is able to track her down. |

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022): As Leatherface appears within a bus full of people, they make absolutely no effort to escape, instead standing there like statues and holding up their phones to photograph and record him. As much as the moment is designed as a satirical jab at millennial/gen-Z influencers (especially with one of them threatening to have Leatherface "cancelled"), it's also somewhat justified, since he’s blocking the main exit and recording him will leave behind more evidence in case he tries to attack them. | |

The group includes one particular tourist who always stays put long enough to take a selfie of himself with the monster in the background. When Penfold gets addicted to his new phone, he starts posting vast quantities of selfies to social media, even while on secret missions. Baron Greenback uses these posts to track the duo and thwart DM's every move. DM eventually uses Penfold's addiction to his advantage in order to halt the Baron's scheme. |

Longmire: When an heir to a phenomenally wealthy family turns up dead, Walt takes pains to keep the story away from the press while they work on the case. While he's explaining this to the family, its bratty Phoneaholic Teenager tweets out the news, then tries to take a selfie with him. | |

Let It Die features Colonel Jackson, whose fetish involved taking selfies in the blast radius of the bombs he made himself, sometimes with his partner/lover Johnny. It ended about as well as you'd expect, with Johnny getting blown in half. The subsequent grief-driven rampage is what leads Jackson to get decapitated and become the second Don of the Tower of Barbs. | |

Granted, he's moving away from said bystanders' position, but considering that as far as humanity knows at this point Godzilla has become hostile to humans... | |

Yuri!!! on Ice tends to play this for laughs: In Episode 2 when Yurio arrives in Japan, he mentions knowing he can't post pictures or else his coach will find out where he is, but as soon as he finds a shirt he really likes (with a tiger on it), he takes a selfie with it and posts it anyway. His coach is not amused in the slightest. Phichit seems to have a habit of taking embarrassing pictures of people and posting them online without their consent since, in his words, he just can't help himself. He does it twice in Episode 6, where he takes a picture of his coach Celestino when he's drunkenly passed out and when he uploads a racy picture of a drunk and naked Victor hugging Yuri. |

Doctor Who: In "The Eleventh Hour", the people of England watch the Sun mysteriously dimming over, and instead of running for some sort of probably-fruitless cover, they begin to film and tweet about it. The Doctor comments on this. If you weren't scared of social networks enough, "The Bells of Saint John" shows that there's a mastermind using all your updates to the Internet to track people, events, and the ridiculous situations you should really deal with before taking a selfie. The selfies help them steal identities. (Funnily enough, though, the bad guys make this same mistake: their social media accounts all mention where they work, which is how the Doctor tracks them down, with some help from Clara.) At the top of "Death in Heaven" people are gawking at the Cybermen who have just emerged from St. Paul's Cathedral in the previous episode's Cliffhanger; their mastermind Missy offers them photos with the cyborgs for a pound and even crows to the Doctor "We're trending!" as some people take them up on the offer. But they turn out to be a subversion: they're actually military personnel from UNIT come to ambush and apprehend both Missy and the Cybermen (and to take the Doctor with them to boot). |

Two Letters: Invoked by the new Ladybug against Alya. After Alya's investigation spurs her to show up to an akuma battle disguised as Chat Noir, the new Ladybug shields her from an attack. Afterwards, the seemingly heavily wounded heroine pleads with the public to be more careful around her fights, and not get involved 'just to get clips for social media'. This, coupled with a reminder about how her Secret Identity is a matter of national security, convinces Paris that Alya was trying to unmask their heroine just for the sake of 'landing a big scoop'. | |

The Blair Witch Project, of all films, actually deconstructed this one. The reason Heather continues to film everything, long after it's become clear that she and her friends are lost, is because it's her way of coping with that fact. The screen on the camera makes the predicament she's in feel less real. | |

World's Dumbest...: Played With in pretty much every way, typically in one of two scenarios—either someone will film a disaster and its aftermath instead of doing something to help, prompting the commentators to jokingly Lampshade the importance of continuing to film the events; or someone will stop filming and go to help, prompting the commentators to complain (and, in some cases, re-enact the probable aftermath themselves). Another form of this occurs when someone films something embarrassing and decides to erase the tape—which apparently means "send it to TruTV so Danny Bonaduce can make fun of it." |

In the 2013 version of Carrie, during the title character's telekinetic rampage at the prom, the school photographer tries to film what's happening, and we briefly see the action through the lens of his camera, found footage-style. He gets a table to the face the moment that Carrie makes eye contact with the camcorder. The original version of the script was supposed to have a greater found-footage component; this scene was likely an artifact of that. A non-fatal example comes earlier in the film when Chris films Carrie's humiliation in the school showers, which turns out to be incriminating evidence that she was responsible for the prank, meaning that she's not getting unbanned from the prom no matter how much her rich father tries to argue her case. | |

After Ladybug calls her out on this, she actually gets worse, having dramatically misinterpreted her warning and convinced herself that the best way to prove herself to Ladybug is by throwing herself into harms' way for the sake of killer footage. Felix also notes that she doesn't bother getting permission from anyone she films for her blog. During the Birds of a Feather arc, Marinette protects several ballet students from an akuma and buys time for them to flee, getting injured in the process. Alya berates her for risking her life, spurring Marinette to call her out on her Moral Myopia: |
