      That's a sentence! CDC has guidelines on avoiding method details on suicide exactly for this reason: inspires more.https://twitter.com/mgerrydoyle/status/915176787344113664 …

      arguably the public service is answering the question, "why was this attack so deadly?" I think that's legitimate. but I get your point

      "Attack was particularly deadly as the murderer had stockpile of weapons incl. automatics". Done. Don't pub long weapon/method porn/how-to.

      Yes. Mass shootings are similar to suicides in contagion effects. WE KNOW HOW TO REPORT TO DAMPEN EFFECT.https://twitter.com/Annabelle4SC/status/915179416598302721 …

      @Poynter Reporting on mass shootings should be treated as carefully as suicides. Please consider issuing ethical guidelines to reporters!

      Yes for suicides. Unfortunately, CDC politically banned from studying gun violence. See: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00031539.htm …https://twitter.com/bellisaurius/status/915186014574039040 …

      Actually, I study how censorship works, and many people studied this for suicide and mass shootings. Big difference.https://twitter.com/rhysblakely/status/915193034568060928 …

      Media shld exhibit control in covering mass shooters. Naive, though, to think unstable readers wldn't mine details from beyond MSM https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/915040618820329472 …

      As proof, simply look at recent rise of using cars as weapons. Painfully and openly obvious for decades, only took off recently. Contagion.

      Are you saying that a mainstream media ban on reporting use of vehicles as weapons would have stopped the flow of news? Is there evidence?

      I am not arguing for any bans. I am arguing against sensationalized, particular type of coverage. Stuff on loop, excessive focus on killer.

      We absolutely know this for suicides; increasing evidence for mass shootings (though CDC banned from studying). See thread for articles.
