"Are you responsible for other people's behaviour or action?"

True Story:

A paedophile hunter is hunting those predators online by pretending to be a 13 yo gurl to lure the predators. When they took the bait, he would arrange a meeting to a public place, bring his camera crew then confront the person.

Of course these people are not impressed of his method of confrontation especially with the camera. He posted these videos to his 500k followers and send it to the police for trial including all the evidences he gathered.

One of the predators was so ashamed and so affected as a result took his own life.

The critics of the PD Hunter blamed him for the death of the PD. They were concerned of his method that by putting the video that was taken in a public setting is breaching privacy rights!

So, if you are raising awareness of criminal activities and that person took his life, are you to blame?

Second, if you have irrefutable evidence, do you think that the rights of thr criminals over rides the rights of their victims?

Thoughts #nostr?

Cheers,

Responsibility is not binary. Your scenario represents a "contributary" aspect. Leaving marbles on the floor doesn't imbue intent, but when someone falls because of them, it was a forseable consequence.

nice analogy. genuinely curious, do you think you are responsible for other people's action?

Not absolutely; all people have free will. Our actions influence people to various extents. Anakin obviously had an anger problem, but Palpatine drew him to the dark side.

I love it when you say "free will". At least someone in my tribe understand this. 💯

Sadly, not everyone recognised that they have "free will" becauee it means they are responsible of their own action and no one else. This can be painful to others or to bear especially if they hated the outcome of their choices or what they become after the fact. 🤓👌
