  everybody wants to be the first one in, but distributing this sort of content with out a cool-down time, can have extreme consequences. you could end up providing intelligence that increases lethality of follow up attacks.

    A Dutch journalist was rightly kicked out of Ukraine early in the war for his absolutely stupendously stupid scoop with pictures of russian rockets landing in a city. The moron was all indignant about it too. https://nltimes.nl/2022/04/04/dutch-journalist-expelled-ukraine-sharing-state-secrets-report https://nltimes.nl/2022/04/04/dutch-journalist-expelled-ukra...

      Similar indeed. It's an interesting situation though, since many people believe that now with Twitter and other social medias, they have real time reports from each war, while in reality we mostly see what we're allowed to see - and it's very different depending from which side you're watching.

        Not giving the enemy targeting information is generally good practice. Who needs forward artillery observers when you have journalists?
