No I think it should be there. The people should really know whats happening and they'll not be ignorant anymore. They'll start to care and share. If some are afraid to face the truth , then let them be. But pls don't try to censor the news!
I don't think anyone's suggesting filtering out that content, but having a warning that there may be some disturbing images seems fair and we will likely put that on the site when we have a chance.
Ya, it's a tough call to make. Watching this stuff I've seen more severed heads and public executions than anyone should ever want to. It's brutal, but it helps you realize that this stuff really is going on. When we say "ISIS is a terrorist organization" everyone starts to yawn, because all we ever hear about are terrorists. But then you see them decapitate a 5-year-old? A public crucifixion? And not just one, at scale. Those little anecdotes do put things in perspective.
Yet my wife was furious with me the first time she used grasswire for those same reasons. "I don't want to see that" is a reasonable request. So we have to find a balance there - we have to warn but not censor. That's tricky when things are live and we don't technically control what others are posting - it may end up as a blanket "stuff on this site might be graphic."
In practice you're absolutely right. Will get on that.
