Wouldn't this case fall along the same lines as yelling fire in a crowded theater resulting in the death or deaths due to panic?

I don't understand why this is going to the SCOTUS.

TEXTING "fire" in a crowded theater is a bit more like it.

Except that doesn't cover the "duty to help." Supreme Court history favors the negligent so far.

Still sorting out law and technology.
