I don't know Lara and I haven't followed this thread, but
I would speculate that her attitude might be similar to mine:
I refuse to grant those nutcases that much power.  Some tiny
number of them exist, who have perpetrated some tiny number of
(albeit high-profile) atrocities, and now suddenly nobody else on
the entire planet can post pictures of their children to the net?
No; I defy that lopsided capitulation.
