Yeah I don't really understand it either. How does the game send those images and how is it supposed when you've completed the tasks.Read the whole article and still don't fully understand what it is or what I'm watching out for.

IT CAME FROM JAPAAAAAANNNNNNNNN OOOOOOOOOAs I understand it the suicide instruction clips in kids videos are real, but the 'WhatsApp game' is largely a Hoax? A couple of people may have experienced it but it isn't the large scale real life 'The Ring' it's been made out to be.
you still have to be careful because there are tons of unofficial Peppa Pig videos on YT that feature characters murdering other characters and other things not featured in official Peppa episodes and obviously not suitable for Peppa's intended audience.One thing is for sure, I'm not letting my toddler watch Peppa vids on YouTube like I had been before. Will stick to using other services, as I can't trust the YouTube algorithm not to fuck my child's growing mind.
Oh, is the viral post a hoax?
Now I'm wondering if the hoax will actually inspire people to make the supposed videos.
Tbf the concept of spliced in suicide messages in kids videos on YouTube was something I wouldn't have given the time of day to worry about before this last week. I'm not believing it's some creepypasta shit, just another twisted shit pulling off similar stuff as the videos that were exposed recently.
I'm glad no one posted a picture of the Momo thing in here because it creeps me out.
Damn, so THAT'S where I recognized the image from.
But the Samaritans and the NSPCC have dismissed the claims, saying that while there is no evidence that the Momo challenge has initially caused any harm itself, the ensuing media hysteria could now be putting vulnerable people at risk by encouraging them to think of self-harm.
A Samaritans spokesperson was similarly sceptical, saying: "These stories being highly publicised and starting a panic means vulnerable people get to know about it and that creates a risk." They recommended media outlets read their guidelines on reporting suicide and suggested press coverage is "raising the risk of harm".
Gigantic hoax and total failure of journalism in the modern capitalist age.
Read the thread for more details: classic internet click hungry media feedback loop of one poorly sourced story being reported in several "reputable" places and thus becoming real.
The medium is the message : )
For once the term 'Fake News' might actually be true. Nobody has seen anything other than the original post, and it's just grown like wildfire.Yep, it's spreading like wildfire on facebook, lots of concerned posts, you try to present facts that no police force in the UK has reported anyone being hurt by this and are just shouted down.
It's hysteria.

All the schools in our area have sent out warnings to parents about this. It seems to be really quite horrible.
Basically. Schools in the area of mine have done it too.Here kids, have you heard of the momo doll challenge? Oh, you haven't well don't pay attention to it as it's bad mmmkay.
Child on youtube: Momo challenge.
