There are hundreds of them (just search by hashtags in the posts above). Of course same set of videos/pics repeated over & over, but my point is that such stuff is present all over Twitter & FB and anyone accessing those platforms can stumble upon them. Twitter doesn't even seem to put them behind a "Violent/NSFW" click-through.

I don't see how nudity can be more damaging or pernicious than such content.




And the papers printed a nude nine year old girl getting burned alive by napalm. Some events are worth depicting even if they are shocking or horrifying and political murder is one of them.


There's probably a potential difference in intent, in the sense that a kid will not buy the new York times but they might be exposed to random things on Twitter.

I'm not sure of the "kids will suffer because of violent images" idea tho, we were shown a crap ton of terrible imagery from WWI/WWII/Holocaust/Vietnam when I was in middle school, and if anything I thought it was a good thing.


Gentle reminder that you was shown carefully selected footage. You was not show random pictures nor worst emotions causing pictures.

For the first link I see this: "The following media includes potentially sensitive content. Change settings"

I don't have an account, so you may have changed your settings
