If it where child molestation, which you have not yet been indoctrinated into thinking is normal yet, all the prattle about “civilized and decent treatment” would go out the window.
We are being taught NOT to be “sensitive,” as sensitivity is inversely proportional to stimuli.
“Privacy” means nothing in the context of heinous behavior.
There’s a big difference between child molestation and sexual deviancy among consenting adults.
The principle is simply a respect for the privacy of others. Everyone has something in their lives they wouldn’t want to see splashed all over a website, done largely in the interest of making profit on the unhealthy interest of the public.
There have to be some standards in journalism.
