The judgment in the historic Roe vs Wade case has left people angry and agitated. Users on TikTok are sharing personal information about the judges who overturned the ruling. Many individuals are uploading footage of Justice Amy Coney Barrett and Justice Samuel Alito from the Supreme Court along with what appear to be their credit card numbers, expiration dates, and security code.
The videos mainly consist of displays of the justices’ photographs with writing over their faces and a translucent red box around them. It may be to conceal the material from TikTok’s algorithm. Although Vice, which covered the news, claims that the comments are “filled with the message: “It worked! “. However, it is still uncertain if the data is accurate.
We strictly prohibit sharing personal information: TikTok
TikTok said in a statement that its “policies do not prohibit the topic of abortion. And we expect creators to adhere to our Community Guidelines which apply equally to everyone and everything on TikTok. We strictly prohibit and will remove content that shares personally identifiable information.”
The information about judges was already available to the public. Mostly because, in May 2022, when his anti-abortion draft opinion was out, demonstrators marched to Justice Alito’s house. Both Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Brett Kavanaugh encountered demonstrators in front of their homes. The Roe v. Wade decision secured a woman’s constitutional right to an abortion, but Justice Samuel Alito and the other court members granted states the authority to enact abortion laws at the state level. “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Justice Alito wrote in a draft of an opinion dated 10 February. “It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”
