 TIKTOK JUDGE EMPLOYS THE TECHNOLOGICALLY INEPT BOOMER DEFENSE 

“NJ Superior Court judge says he did not know his ‘inappropriate’ TikToks were public,” by The Record’s Marsha A. Stoltz: “On Friday, Judge Gary N. Wilcox issued a 21-page verified answer to a five-page complaint filed against him by the Advisory Committee on Judicial Conduct on July 1. The complaint by Disciplinary Counsel Maureen Bauman charged Wilcox with violating three judicial conduct canons by posting some 40 videos of himself under an assumed name on TikTok, and lip-syncing questionable song lyrics in questionable attire and/or surroundings. … While Wilcox concedes his behavior was questionable and ‘inappropriate,’ he contends the whole affair could have been avoided if someone had contacted him when he allegedly was first recognized on TikTok in March 2021. ‘Respondent admits to utilizing the platform, but does not consider himself an expert in its use and in customizing an account,’ Wilcox states in the document. ‘He did not know the significance of what ‘public’ meant in TikTok’s posting context.’ ‘Respondent admits to utilizing the platform, but does not consider himself an expert in its use and in customizing an account,’ Wilcox states in the document. ‘He did not know the significance of what ‘public’ meant in TikTok’s posting context.’”
