Suicide of Ronnie McNutt

 On the 31st of August, 2020, Ronald Merle McNutt, 33, an American man, took his own life by shooting himself under the chin with a pump-action shotgun in the Facebook livestream, which was viewed by millions on social media sites. The case became notable for both the callous attitude expressed toward McNutt's suicide by a few users on the internet and Facebook's slow response to the video that had been shared on numerous other platforms and amassed a large view count before it was eventually taken down. TikTok is a platform for video, was slow to respond to the clip. The video had been posted to numerous feeds of users, and many people re-uploaded the same video, prompting many users to opt to avoid the site. [1] The case has raised awareness of both suicide prevention and what obligations social media platforms have to ensure the safety of users and protect victim reputations online when it comes to graphic content
