      It's like suicides; not that the info isn't available to the determined. But media attention on high-profile suicides causes spike. Same.

      Don't publish method/weapon porn (detailed maps, many weapon pictures, excessive technical method). Report on victims, structural factors.//

      I can assure big media that there's no shortage of crucial stuff they can report on without helping inspire copycats—what they're doing now.

      Individual "profiles" are useless. Troubled people with guns. Too many false positives, no predictive capability. https://twitter.com/dlepeska/status/915198363691339776 …

      I make no call to censor actual news. Don't give the killer attention on their terms, don't loop snuff films, etc.https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/914819173112532993 …

      Focus on victims; gun control; that the CDC is banned from studying guns; structural factors that produce these regularly. So much material!

      For ex: CNN autoplays video with sound of automatic fire. One, you're autoplaying a snuff film. Two, that's exactly what inspires copycats.

      This particular type of mass murderer is killing *for* the infamy. That's the goal. Why does media comply so meekly?https://twitter.com/briandonohue/status/915212499213062147 …

          +recommentation isn't "hide method." It's "don't go into excessive details that plant seeds of ideation with step-by-step detailed tracing."

          .@people mag does appropriate coverage of Las Vegas—profiling victim after victim—while "serious" media focues on "how-to" for next killer.🙄

          Gunfire on loop on CNN—snuff film made exactly to be on loop on CNN—detailed tracing of mass murder—it's not the info public needs—on NYT.

          Extended profiles of the killer ("who knew?") or play-by-play of mass murder don't help our understanding. Helps inspire copycats, though.pic.twitter.com/5p8JNC881I
