I thought they learnt there lesson after all the back lash after last attack.
Not if the backlash led to more eyeballs.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

What backlash other than a few anonymous complaints on a forum?

Did you reach out to the 'news' sites posting this garbage and voice your complaints?

Did you tell them you will no longer be visiting their sites?

Most importantly, did you reach out to their advertisers and let them know that you will not support a company that advertises on such insensitive sites?

Complaint ain't gonna change it. You need to hit them where it hurts- in the clicks and dollars.

This is a feature for JCN; not a bug.

step in the right direction


JUST IN: 15-year-old Jewish Yeshiva teen stabbed in serious condition in Lakewood, New Jersey, ‘incident’.

Police say a suspect with a knife has been arrested - motive still unclear.

*** will refrain from posting details regarding the victim and exact location to protect the privacy of those affected by the event.

Why not refrain from posting this vital news story all together?

Same reporting as always. Protecting the perp = redacted details.

Can we change the title to: Can we stop posting videos of people dying?
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

Bumping this thread due to tonight’s terrible tragedy. Although pictures might not be an issue here, I think this is still relevant. There’s no benefit in forwarding/posting about the nitty gritty details here- we’ll be no better off by figuring out all the details like where the bodies were found, what the niftarim texted in their final moments, etc.

Let’s focus on grieving with the families and davening for them, doing something l’ilui nishmas the niftarim, or bettering ourselves in some way. Hocking about the details won’t do anything positive.

Absolutely not. This has been the consensus of mental health professionals, Israeli soldiers, rabbis - everyone that I've seen.

ETA: this is why they are called terrorists, their goal is to terrorize. they posted the videos themselves because they want to terrorize us.
