Non-Jews on Twitter are scandalized by the existence of things like an eruv, condemning or mocking Jews for trying to “trick G-d”.
They just don’t get it and it’s none of their business anyway.

Yup. Especially since most non-Jewish probably relate it to people trying to trick the government. They probably view it like people setting up a phony business for tax evasion. It's a totally different concept and thought process for halacha.
I was trying to think of an example that they might get. Let's say you have to write a research paper in college. And one student with learning disabilities affecting their ability to write uses speech to text program to help them complete their paper. "Oh my goodness, they're cheating!!!!! They have to WRITE a paper!!!"
Except we all know that's nonsense. The goal is to see if they can conduct the research, organize and present their findings and summations in an organized and clear manner. The fact that they used speech to text doesn't negate that they accomplished the goal.

What are you talking about?
Is this a trending topic on Twitter?
In what context is this issue being discussed, and why did people start talking about this?
And also: which people??

Well, this is generally a bad thing and a flaw in the system. The criticism they're making is that God is supposed to be perfect and all-knowing, so He wouldn't be fooled by a loophole. And that if religious Jews were true believers, they wouldn't be trying to "get out of it" by finding a loophole. Obviously it comes from a lack of understanding about halacha, but the point they think they're making is not that loopholes don't exist elsewhere, but rather mocking the idea of using them to try to sneak one past God.

Since quote tweets, hashtags aren't used consistently anymore.
Here are some screenshots (some normal, some disturbingly ignorant/hateful):

Finding a way to do something legally is only a "loophole" if there was a mistake in the law that you're exploiting. You're not allowed to take a bottle of milk on a plane. Taking a container of powdered milk instead is a solution, not a loophole. It takes a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of the rules to say "hahaha, you think you're tricking the TSA by sneaking milk on a plane, but they really know you're going to reconstitute it and drink it! Either the TSA isn't real, or you're in big trouble!"

Looks like Miriam’s Shabbos lamp video didn’t help.

Anyone else getting a kick out of this? It's actually pretty funny. I'd rather you tell us how Shabbos lamps is 'tricking G-d' and take a break from calling us genocidal occupiers.
