The #FreeDorothy saga began in August 2019 when a young Ariana Grande fan named Dorothy had her phone confiscated by her mother. Refusing to be silenced, Dorothy managed to send tweets using her Nintendo DS, Wii U, and most famously, her LG Smart Refrigerator. The hashtag #FreeDorothy went viral globally, even gaining support from major brands like LG and Google. The meme represents the ultimate act of teen defiance and the absurdity of modern technology, illustrating that where there is a Wi-Fi connection, there is a way. It is commonly used to joke about extreme measures taken to stay online or to poke fun at being restricted from social media.
