The photos Twitter account of the New York Times has been suspended for violation of Twitter community guidelines after publishing photos of bodies of victims of a suspected terror attack in Nairobi, Kenya.
NYT East Africa bureau chief Kumiko de Freytas-Tamura has since apologised for that lapse in editorial judgement.
Interestingly, publishing photos of dead bodies is also a common practice of Filipino “social news” site Rappler as evident in this report.
Perhaps Rappler too should be suspended on Twitter for violating its community rules.
