It's worse than that.
This situation does not make us look bad, not really, not yet. It has
potential, but I doubt it will materialise. If it did, I am absolutely
confident that the images would be taken off in the swift and decisive
action that is appropriate in this case. The point is precisely that
in the absence of media attention, the community is as a whole
incapable of taking such appropriate action. We act in narrow
self-interest, not in the best interest of things and people in
general.
