Despite what you may have heard, teens are not stealing their family's fine dinnerware, tossing it in a blender, and snorting the resulting dust for the "porcelain challenge." That's just what Sebastian Durfee, a 23-year-old actor and TikTok creator, hoped you might believe when he spread the word on social media of the latest dangerous teen challenge. Never mind that it was all fake from the start. Last week, Durfee posted a call to action to his followers: to work together to get "boomers to freak out about a fake TikTok challenge." His account was banned just a few days later, but his goal wasn't just to rack up views. It was also to examine how attention and outrage work online, and, in a new twist, to trick the very people who were in on the joke in the first place.
