Don’t do this. We know how to cover terrible news like this, without doing it on the killer’s terms. Don’t participate in the snuff film he directed: instead give us the crucial news coverage we need.https://twitter.com/BarristerSecret/status/1106493702460055557 …

This is a horrific act or terrorism. Much has been written by many experts on how to understand and approach those who kill to terrorize without doing their bidding. Here is two of mine.

Please please don’t be played. Don’t rush. Focus on victims and horror of terrorism. https://twitter.com/kevinroose/status/1106407789067419648 …

Correct choice. No gain from plastering his face or his “manifesto” all over media, either. Besides, his “manifesto” isn’t written as straight. It’s a sick “joke”. Best response is to bury it and analyze the event: terrorism, and focus on victims.https://twitter.com/george_osborne/status/1106524548399329281 …

zeynep tufekciVerified account @zeynepI am, sadly, going to retweet an earlier thread. Media: please don’t put the killer’s face on loop, on front pages, on your app notifications. Don’t sensationally publicize manifestos. Focus on victims and structural causes. Don’t help inspire the next killer. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/963900584901226497 …Show this thread2 replies 30 retweets 120 likesShow this thread -

Don’t be played. That thing isn’t written as a manifesto or to be analyzed. It’s to play media and to generate searches via terms its using. That’s the strategy—via mass murder. Don’t make it work. https://twitter.com/bostonjoan/status/1106419430085574657 …

It’s not censorship to refuse to act as publicity agent for a snuff film. People were murdered to get others to play that footage, to post that sick joke of a “manifesto”, to lead others to search terms. Editorial judgment isn’t censorship. Cover the news. https://twitter.com/jake_hanrahan/status/1106536372339392512 …

Replying to @zeynep
I agree, which is why I said I wouldn't and haven't shared the video. The idea that we should read this guy's writing to understand where h'es coming from and why he did this is unhelpful. Cover the news.
