Jim,

Inappropriate release, exploitation, and misclassification of the
photos, and resulting continuing damage to innocent parties, are
utterly orthogonal to questions of responsibility for the accident
itself.

Your proposed restrictions are both vapid and clueless.

Excuse me, Jim?  What "restrictions" did I propose?  I explicitly said
that there should be no bans or censorship of such images from the Net.

I did suggest that if a search engine is going to offer a "SafeSearch"
xfunction, such images should be more appropriately included in the analysis.

Perhaps you'd find Brock Meeks' take on this of interest.  He's about
as anti-censorship as anyone you'll find:
