'What were you wearing when you were sexually assaulted? ...'

Oh boy.

At the Daily Dot, "The ethics of embedding tweets":
Yes, Twitter is public. Anything you post can legally be reposted on news sites like BuzzFeed, even if it’s something you shared under the mistaken assumption that an audience smaller than BuzzFeed’s would see it.
And following the links takes us to BuzzFeed, "Sexual Assault Survivors Answer the Question 'What Were You Wearing When You Were Assaulted?'"

So stupid. And stop with the moral attacks on BuzzFeed. You tweet something and it's out there. Don't get all pissed off at BuzzFeed if it aggregates them in story. Doh.

More at WaPo, "#etiquette: Buzzfeed posted tweets from sexual assault victims. Good call or not?" (Via Mediagazer.)
