A Child’s TikTok Stardom Opens Doors. Then a Gunman Arrives

I can’t accept this argument. In a risk matrix the probability is low but impact is high, so it’s still high risk and doesnt justify dismissal.

I think it bolsters the need for anonymity and privacy, especially online. In FL you have the sunshine act which makes doxxing particularly easy.

I totally understand that some people would not choose to make the tradeoff, and they are free not to. Inherently, anyone broadcasting video of their everyday life is going to be doxxable if they are not extremely careful about how much information they are putting out. The sunshine laws in this case may have helped but I don't think we know that. The article doesn't mention them at any rate.

That’s true of literally any rare disaster. That’s why they’re called disasters.

Better not fly.

Everyone's a risk manager until they have to do it every day, and then they find themselves constrained by last week's fears to the extent that they can no longer leave the house without a haz-mat suit, armed bodyguard, and one-way plane ticket to a remote village in Switzerland
