Game Mechanism and Dangers

1. How the “Game” Works:

   • Participants temporarily restrict oxygen to the brain through physical methods (such as choking or using external objects).
   • This process induces a brief euphoric state but poses severe and fatal risks.

2. Medical Consequences:

   • Oxygen deprivation (hypoxia) can lead to brain damage or instant death.
   • Even short-term hypoxia increases the risk of coma or irreversible neurological damage.

Spread Through Social Media

1. How It Becomes Popular:

   • Challenges and videos demonstrating the process are shared on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
   • Teenagers attempt to replicate the dangerous experiment, underestimating its risks.

2. Role of Social Media Platforms:

   • Platform algorithms often amplify viral content.
   • Despite efforts to block such videos, the information spreads rapidly among teens.

Reactions from Authorities and Experts

1. Countermeasures:

   • American schools and parent associations are raising awareness about the deadly risks.
   • Medical experts are issuing warnings through media and educational campaigns.

2. Advice to Parents:

   • Closely monitor children’s activity on social media.
   • Have open conversations with teens about the dangers of participating in such “games.”

Conclusion

Deadly social media games are a wake-up call for parents, schools, and society. Combating this threat requires a joint effort from social platforms, educational institutions, and families to protect children from fatal risks.
