Baby Reindeer Controversy
- Netflix's "true story" disclaimer on Baby Reindeer led to intense online sleuthing.
- This resulted in the misidentification of individuals and real-world harassment, highlighting compliance issues.
Protecting Vulnerable Individuals
- Dramas based on true stories must prioritize protecting vulnerable individuals involved.
- Disguising identifying characteristics is crucial in the age of social media and online sleuthing.
Managing Expectations
- Consider using "based on a true story" instead of "this is a true story" to manage audience expectations.
- This can help prevent misinterpretations of events and protect those involved.
