Shop security guards have complained of a 'massive' rise in antisocial behaviour by teenage tearaways harassing staff and customers for social media views.
Supermarkets have started turning off their WiFi to stop mobs gathering at in-store cafes to use the Internet while passing time filming themselves 'trying to get a rise' out of employees.
They also face the scourge of influencers carrying out 'pranks' with the aim of going viral on TikTok, as well as other platforms such as YouTube and Instagram.

I actually saw this happen at a Prada store in Dallas. (Yes I go and dutifully carry my wife’s bags. Although they had some really good looking sneakers that were way too expensive that I thought about for 30 seconds.)
Black couple, looking homeless, tried their best to get a rise out of a security guard while another filmed. Guard was so shockingly polite and professional I went and complimented him after.
arrest them for a crime, charge the social media sites that post this crap and allow the perps to monetize it with criminal conspiracy.
All this pranking for clicks bullcrap will stop in weeks.
Yes. They should be arrested for public harassment and incitement. Their victims are not public figures but private citizens with the right to a degree of privacy in their public dealings. Furthermore, since they are engaged in commercial activity (clicks and revenue) the victims are unpaid contributors to the harassers’ YT earnings.
YT is also at fault for rewarding the harassment with revenue and should be held financially and if appropriate legally responsible.
Whenever I see harassment YTs I report the abuse and cite YT’s civil and legal liability for compensating their content providers to harass people.
Yep
There goes that “Teenager” substitute word again.....and “pranksters” sounds so innocent and cute.....
Not to mention girls in that age group, and I don’t mean your average “tomboy” either. The kind who’ll be soon be participating in these “peaceful” protest demonstrations. There’s a lot of them out there and why they shouldn’t be dealt with, I have no idea.
Hold cow. They are doomed.
I liked this approach:
The sound was coming from a wall-mounted box, but not everyone can hear it. The device, called the Mosquito, is audible only to teens and young adults and was installed outside the building to drive away loiterers.

Time for some old timey correction.
Oh, I promise you, it’s white kids too. They perform pranks like throwing a bucket of rice on some old man in Home Depot, stashing the empty pail quickly, and pretending like they got attacked too, while a buddy down the aisle films the whole thing. It’s really obnoxious.
ThecUK has had a huge yob problem long before the immigration problems came about. The UK is one big welfare neighborhood. Those football riots are white as can be.
I think it means those pranksters come from “Far Tearaway,” the neighborhood next door to “Far Rockaway” in the Bronx.
