The phenomenon of groups preying on individuals with serious mental illness, specifically schizophrenia, by falsely informing them that they are targeted individuals has resulted in widespread harm to affected individuals globally. As a result, victims of this online hoax, including families, caretakers, and the individuals themselves, are seeking legal recourse for the damages incurred. The social media companies facilitating the dissemination of this misinformation should have been cognizant of the potential harm and should be held accountable. Furthermore, these companies owe an apology to individuals with schizophrenia, as these hoax groups only serve to further stigmatize those already struggling with thought disorders.
