A Nevada license plate with the message “Go back to California” went viral on Facebook, gaining over 80,000 likes before the Nevada DMV recalled it. This plate resonated with many, highlighting the ongoing tensions between Nevada and California residents, and sparking widespread online discussions.
While custom license plates are popular, not all requests are approved by the DMV. For instance, plates like “SAUC3D” and “RAMP4GE” were rejected due to potentially offensive language, while others like “F4K3 T4XI” and “BUYAGRAM” were denied for referencing illegal activities. This incident illustrates how quickly social media can turn a local message into a global conversation, demonstrating the unpredictable nature of digital culture in grabbing public attention.
