Ok, don't jump from a bridge. Take off your clothes, and go to your neighbors, I'm asking you right now. Are you going to comply?

Yes, that might be a crime.

But I didn't identify myself as a policeman. Just a request from some random person on the internet. The person I asked to do it didn't comply, because he knows better what instructions to obey. So should his browser.

You know that in many countries, encouraging or assisting illegal activity is a crime in itself, right?

Stripping and jumping from a bridge is not illegal activity.

Both are illegal in quite a few places. Stripping may violate public nudity laws.

Jumping off bridges is often illegal, as well. For example, Florida: https://www.tcpalm.com/story/news/local/2020/07/06/bridge-ju...

Another thing came to mind.

Let's say you know I'm the kind of person to easily give people money. I just got my paycheck, and you knowing this, you ask me to give you the money. I'll give you the money because that's the kind of person I am. But then I'm left with no money for the month, and all of its consequences.

Who do you think would carry the blame in this situation?
