Titan, a five-person submersible operated by OceanGate, went missing during a dive to explore the wreck of the Titanic. The submersible, named Titan, had British billionaires Hamish Harding and Shahzada Dawood, French submarine pilot Paul-Henry Nargeolet, and Dawood’s son Suleman on board. The submersible lost contact with its operator, OceanGate Expeditions, and a search operation was launched. Unfortunately, it has been confirmed that all five people on board did not survive. The U.S. Coast Guard located a debris field on the sea floor, indicating a catastrophic implosion of the vessel. OceanGate Expeditions expressed their condolences and confirmed the loss of the passengers, including their CEO.

After news of the missing submersible spread, social media saw a range of reactions. Some users posted humorous and satirical observations about the situation, while others took the opportunity to make anti-capitalist remarks. On the other hand, some individuals criticized the act of laughing at billionaires in distress, emphasizing the importance of compassion. In the midst of these discussions, a disabled black creator spoke out against the moralizing silencing. Unfortunately, this individual was falsely accused of doxing, which refers to publicly revealing someone’s private information online with malicious intent. Such false accusations can further escalate tensions and harm the reputation of the person targeted. Calling Up Justice published educational videos breaking down some of the toxic communication tactics at play.
