One thing which confuses me about social media is the endless cycles of drama and gossip.

Take this one for example, there's some huge drama about a twitch streamer. There's a conspiracy theory that he's using a shock collar on his dog.... As far as i can tell, it's just a vibrating collar... But i don't get it... I mean secretary of homeland security Kristi Noem proudly told the story of shooting and killing her family dog... Even Mitt Romney strapped his dog on the roof of his car while going on a family road trip vacation.

Shock collars might not be great, but they're a perfectly common tool sold in most pet stores... How can somebody be canceled for a rumor that they might use one, and are hiding the evidence despite live streaming their own live 24/7?

I've been hassled for using a shock collar before. I think the context matters but it is easy to judge without gathering that information.

You could absolutely use a shock collar just to be cruel. Or, maybe you just got a rescue dog that likes to try to run off, can easily get to the nearest highway to get run over, and you tested the collar on yourself so you know exactly how much it hurts.
