Would you allow your husband to post a video of him doing a saline cleanse of your nasal cavity? The video would be of him standing behind you, holding you down as he squirts an entire bottle of saline up one of your nostrils, and buckets of snot come out the other side. He would repeat it again on the other nostril, still with a lot of snot.

You probably wouldn’t consent to that kind of content being posted online. I know I wouldn’t. However, the mother of one unlucky child somewhere in the United States posted that video of him, and I saw it on Instagram and on X multiple times last week. He’ll forever be known as the saline-snot boy. What a claim to fame, and one he never signed up for or consented to.
