I thought that (as an example) the pioneering video recording of the Vietnam war was essentially in shaping the US American public opinion on the war matter. I could be wrong, but it wasn't seen as something horrifying back then.
It's of course the actual murder which is horrifying.
The problem isn't the documentation, but how we as a global society chooses to work with those documents.
I'm not particularly deep into the issue, but I feel there must be something between glorifying it in some engagement-metric heavy filter bubble and making it an agenda to purge whole vaguely defined categories of content from the internet.
- prolepunk 7y agoIn your view journalists doing their jobs and putting all of the information in the proper context versus some nazi doing it for the lulz are exactly equivalent things?
- fwn 7y agoNot at all. What made you think that? The documentation itself just isn't the issue. I in fact wanted to highlight that context is a key factor by writing: > The problem isn't the documentation, but how we as a global society chooses to work with those documents.
- danans 7y ago> an agenda to purge whole vaguely defined categories of content from the internet. But that's not the agenda proposed at all. The agenda is to prevent violent extremism and terrorism promoting content from spreading on social media, not stopping war reporting.
