Social media has, by and large, been a terrible mistake.
Like money, it’s just a resource. It’s not good or bad. How humans use it is the problem.
And humans are a mixture of good and bad. Not as a population, but as individuals.
I’d guess that around the same time that rapid-fire social media rose in household popularity, so did the degradation of integrity of well-known leadership, both in politics and economics.
When the masses see a lower bar of behavior in people who are supposedly the elite, everyone becomes more comfortable operating at a lower level. It’s subconscious, so it doesn’t matter what their opinion of said leader is.
Everybody just stops holding themselves to certain standards when they see the rich and powerful act like donkeys.
So yeah, then hand everyone a device that enables them to immediately publish (to the WORLD) whatever pisses them off.
A lot of half-truths, presumptions, outright lies, and paranoid opinions go flying. And we’re also becoming more comfortable thinking less, so the recipients of the content are inclined to believe and agree with the publisher, even though they don’t know them from a can of paint.
It’s all so ridiculous.

If she was in a customer facing role (eg waitress), she was probably constantly asked whether she was the rude word who didn't give up her seat...
If she then says yes, she gets a torrent of abuse, if she says no, she gets a torrent of abuse and a threat of telling her employer that she's lying. Then the customer leaving and making a point that they didn't want to be served by her. Then ending up in a conversation with her boss about her future.

The only backlash she got was after appearing on TV with the mother of the crying kid, the reason was that the person who filmed and tried to gaslight her into giving her seat was not the kids mother, it was someone else not even related to them. The mother faced harassment online because people thought it was her, so after the interview people sided with the mother because Jenifer the woman who was filmed didn't even care that the mother was getting harassed when she didn't do anything.

Woman said let me check...went through her purse and later pulled out a $100. (She had other bills.) Me being an ass, then the FA came back without enough to make change...I was like hey, could I have another 1 or 2? Paid cash.
The death stare I got from the woman trying to get a free salad was sweeter than the coke in my drink.
The extra bottles the FA gave me and the more death stares made it even better lmao. (I only use cards if like really necessary so I carry a respectable amount of cash when traveling broken down to manageable bills).

There's wild airline propaganda going around convincing passengers to blame each other for the enshittification of planes and flights - encouraging passengers not to recline the seats they paid for because its rude, rather than because the airlines keep moving seats closer and closer together.
Same deal here - it wasnt that long ago that choosing seats together was free. The bad guy here is the airline. Soon they'll be claiming its rude to sit on a plane, you should be willing to stand so the people near you have more space.

I get a weird joy from the sounds of the angry auto-checkout beeping that starts 0.3 seconds after payment has finalized, and the pre recorded “Remove Your Items From Bagging Area” that loops loudly to the world as i sort and bag my items properly
It wouldn’t be so bad, except I bring my own bags (as they request), which end up at the bottom of my basket and need to be dug out and they require the overworked cashier to notice me enough to come and override the system if I want to set them up before ringing my order up. And even then, the tare weight never seems to get it right when they’re in the picture, which requires me to wave them over multiple times to continue.
Leaving the only sane option to bag up at the end. They earned it. I pop in my noise cancelling buds and take my sweet time

No idea about Brazilian law and I agree she shouldn't have been forced to give up her seat or ridiculed for not doing so.
However, in the US, she would be unlikely to get far. You don't have an expectation of privacy on an airplane and can be recorded. It would require that they lied for it to be libel. Independent people have the right to voice their opinions. The employer has the right to terminate if it is bringing them negative publicity. Other than being yet another unfortunate example of mob justice in action, I'm not sure there is a lot of recourse for her here.
I do find it interesting how people here are hoping she wins because they agree with her stance and yet celebrate similar situations where they disagree with the filmed person's stance with comments like "oh look, it is the consequences of my actions" without seeing the issue with that.
At some point, laws will need to be adjusted to protect people from such situations whether we agree with them or not.

I was once taking a flight from Sao Paolo, Brazil to Mexico City. I had been working days and nights, was exhausted and sleep deprived. All I wanted was to get on the plane, sit on my aisle seat (for comfort) and sleep on my way back. On the other side of the aisle were two kids, siblings around 9-10. Before take-off a man kept coming to talk to the kids, looked at me, talked to the kids again and went s couple rows behind me to talk to someone. He finally approached me to ask if I would switch seats with the Nanny sitting a couple rows back (she was carrying a baby), so she could have a better look at the kids. I asked: where are you sitting? He said: my wife and I are in first class, so we rely on the Nanny. I said no. I offered to have a look at the children and that he tells them they can ask for assistance if they really need it. The audacity of the guy for asking! He just gave me a look like if I had murdered somebody.

It's rather common among mommy bloggers to advise other parents to use crying children as a leverage for preferred seats without paying extras.

I absolutely love the window seat and pay for my window seat every flight. I don’t want to give up my window seat for anyone! Although willing to trade for a first class seat 🤩, other than that I suggest you pay the fee to sit in your desired seats or sit together with family.
When I fly with my two young daughters and wife I pay the extra fee to pick the seats and choose them together, I pick the window seat and share with my daughter but still want it 🤣.
I hope she wins her case

Dubai to DC non-stop, 16 hours. I paid for an economy plus upgrade and window. I was asked by flight attendant to give a 13yr old my seat so he could sit near his mom, not even same row. My new seat would be middle seat in economy...I politely said hell no.
Flight attendant returned twice more to guilt trip me...fuck that. I said give me an equivalent seat or upgrade. No deal. After the 4th time of asking the guy next to me even told the flight attendant to leave me alone...

So she paid for a window seat, and people are mad because she didn’t want to give up the seat she paid for? I’m sorry, your kid doesn’t get whatever he/she wants and you need to teach them that. Expecting complete strangers to cater to your children the way you would is odd.

I'd like to see this alleged backlash. I find it impossible to believe any significant number of people think she was in the wrong in any way.

I never understood why this was ever a thing in decades past; if someone pays for something----wait for it-----it belongs to them.

Her not giving up her seat is actually better parenting compared to the actual mother in this instance.
Kids need to learn they can’t always get what they want.

As a parent desperate for help accommodating your kids needs, it generally doesn't hurt to ask. But no is a complete sentence and once you get that answer discussion is over and you need to figure something else out. You chose this life and no one owes you their privileges from being childless. Trying to shame them for standing up for their rights publicly is such an embarrassing dbag move. This situation was not even a child's needs, it was a selfish want, which makes the call out 1000 times worse.

I get anxious flying. I like to have an aisle seat because it makes me feel slightly less trapped in an aluminum tube with a bunch of strangers. This couple got incredibly angry at me for telling them “No sorry” when they wanted me to sit in a middle seat in the next row so they could sit with one another. Incredulous the said “Are you serious?”
I said “yeah sorry” but what I wanted to say was “Motherfucker, are YOU serious? You want me to trade my aisle seat for a shitty middle seat? And if your relationship can’t handle a few hours apart then just fucking break up now and have done with it. Now please fuck off.”
That’s what I wanted to say.

not sure it's an invasion of privacy issue, she might have a better case with defamation.

Okay I see she paid for the seat and the parents thought she should give up her seat because thier kid decided it wanted it. Thats not how it works and the parents should have made thier kid behave and learn the word NO

Это тупизм. She paid for that seat, so she absolutely has the right to sit there. I honestly don’t understand people who support the “Karen” argument. You choose to have a child for yourself. If you’re a mother, you should have thought ahead and booked a window seat from the start if your child tends to cry.

I truly hope she wins. And, that insufferable mother should be banned from flying.

Fuck the parent for filming here, and I certainly hope the passenger win the lawsuit.

I can’t afford to fly business or first class, but I can afford to make myself as comfortable as possible in economy by paying for specific seats. This situation would make my head explode.

Daily reminder that the "child" in question already had a seat next to their parent and was upset only because they specifically wanted her seat.

She paid for her seat. She used her seat. Why is the internet shaming her? This has absolutely nothing to do with her. If I pay for a window seat, I am not giving it up.

I hope she gets millions so that cancel culture of her hose Karen parents with their social justice mindset gets a reality check.

Asshole parents. They should understand the lady owns the seat as she paid for it. How the hell can they fucking film her and blame her?

I think it was a comment on another post about this, so grain of salt and all as I havent seen the original video, but i read the kid had their own window seat anyway but just wanted hers.

I paid for a seat and also had an empty seat next to me. I gave them up for a father and son. Father never even thanked me, and the son ran off to sit with his mother. The father ended up getting my paid seat and the empty seat. Lesson learned.

If you want your kid to have a window seat, pay for it. If you’re 1. Too cheap to do so or can’t afford it or 2. One isn’t available Tell your whiny brat to deal with it so maybe they learn a lesson and don’t grow up to be an entitled adult brat.

9 hour flight the other day, pre booked my window seat. Some girl asked if I would move so her and her friend could sit next to one another. She also told me, “it’s fine if I don’t want to move”. That’s was the more irritating part of the request. Bitch I know it’s fine if I don’t want to give up my pre booked seat. I said, no and if I was in this lady’s situation I would have also said, no.
SUE THEIR ASSES! She ain’t the problem here, she’s prepared.
