If they think that blocking certain words is going to prevent that from happening then well, good luck with that.

- jerf 6y agoIt does prevent the news article from saying "And they knew about it and they did nothing!" I'd be very worried about this in their shoes and acting very similarly.
- ThalesX 6y agoBut then don't you have to answer to all the media queries? "They knew about this problem, they even attempted to half ass fix it, but it's obviously their mind is on the subscriber money, and not preventing blatant CHILD EXPLOITATION!" Then you throw some more money at a yet unsolvable task, and then in 2 years, when some other outlet gets triggered, you have to defend yourself once again. "They've know about this problem for 5 years and it's still rampant in their community! Shame on you JERF INC.!"
- jerf 6y agoYou're not entirely wrong, but if you make the story unattractive enough, the media will go do a hatchet job on someone else. They've only got so much time and they've got a lot of outrage to drum up^W^W^W^Wengagement metrics to drive, so you jst put enough in to try to make them hit somebody else instead.
