Even The Guardian couldn't help but link to the TikTok channel, point out when it was posted so you could find it easier, and post a screenshot of the video with the woman in it even though it's an article all about how she didn't want to be on camera. They're going to get tons of views!

'Journalists' dont' give a shit about anyone. Her concerns are mute, now they guardian gets to talk about the meta issue. The tiktok was exploitative, the guardian article was likewise exploitative. They could have not linked to the channel and also just written a description of the tiktok. Choices were may, all of them to exploit that women directly or indirectly by piling onto the hype.

  Small thing, "moot" not "mute".

    Well, it’s not like she’s been meaningfully given a voice…

      My guess is you don't know this woman or even live on the same continent as her? This is a thread of 500 comments from strangers, more or less unanimously condemning the tiktok media culture that led to her abuse. It's possible most people here know more about the incident and how it affected her than what happened this week in Ukraine. > Maree gave her consent to publish the video with this article https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-07-14/tiktok-video-maree-melbourne-flowers/101228418 https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-07-14/tiktok-video-maree-me...

  This is a fair conclusion but the tiktok itself is a primary source and so should be included so readers can draw their own conclusions.

  "Her concerns are mute" Are concerns themselves normally able to talk?

  We don’t know what journalists feel or care about. We are not mind readers. For that matter, journalists described hundreds of thousands if not millions of people.

Tho, I would argue that linking content you talk about is good habit. If they write about content without linking full version of it, there should be strong reason for it.

That leaped right out at me too.

The Guardian sold out to corporate interests a long time ago.

It's hard to understand the importance of keeping something invisible when we are attached to what is visible and directly in front of us. It's like attempting to look at the negative space between news aggregator headlines and asking, "what am I not going to read here, no matter how much I read?" Maybe the act of making something visible in the context of social viewing will become culturally inexcusable in more circles. It would be the ability of people to get offended at being shared by someone else, which is not perceived as a big deal yet, and a taboo developing that forces people to reconsider at every potential share if they will offend someone. If that doesn't happen, then this will continue for some time. It's a cultural problem. It's sad that selective ignorance feels like a necessary virtue at times when being curious about the world is commonly taught. In effect, "the world" is what we're tempted to be interested in by nature and curiosity is a highly exploitable resource.
