I see your point. But (a) that brings us back to the question of respect for the victim – if they put it out there and/or approve it fine, if not I have trouble with it having their identity visible – and (b) I really wonder how many of these actually provoke action rather than pointing in disgust and/or laughter and/or “someone [else] ought to do something!” slacktivism.
Making this available to the jury and others who are actually going to Do Something about it makes all kinds of sense. I’m not convinced that signal-boosting it to the general public actually increases the number of people who will try to Do Something more than text – and possibly a single still – would. And as noted above, there is potential of significant downside.
Judgement call. I respect your opinion, but I stand by my conclusions.
