[quote=Anonymous]OP here. That's not my response. When I read that a man's legs were blown off mid-calf, I get it. I do not need the photograph. To me, it violates his privacy as well as any sense of journalistic decency. There's something prurient about it. The Atlantic's posted it, no cropping but his face is blurred. What's that about. Also troubling is the unexamined double standard that operates here. If the PP who'd posted the link knew the man, would he/she have posted it to illustrate the horror of such acts? Probably not. Ditto the Atlantic editors. But since he's a total stranger, not only is he a man without legs, he's a man without a name, she applies detachment rather than heightened sensitivity to a man in what is surely the worst moment of his life. That's bogus to me. Think about it. If this were your brother or husband or son, would you like his photo plastered all over the Internet? I certainly would not. [/quote]
