Easy:

A)  Copycats.  Nothing new.  It's just that now this type of
incident is in the news so it's something for an attention seeker
with the access to the stuff to do.

B) Used to, such incidents were handled internally, now they run to
nannygov which puts it in the media which causes item A.  Continue
to loop until the media becomes bored and moves on.
