In January this year, in the aftermath of the terror attack at 14 Riverside Drive, Kenyans descended on New York Times, after the newspaper published pictures of death people.
Their argument was that, it was unethical to publish such pictures. In fact for the first time in history, Twitter had to temporarily block the New York Times Photo account after an uproar from KoT.
But less than two months since that unfortunate incident, Kenyans were online doing the same thing (In fact worse) that they had accused the New York Times of doing.
Several pictures about the ill fated Ethiopian Air plane that crashed on Sunday killing 157 people went viral on social media. Unfortunately, these were fake photos that idle Kenyans were circulating just to remain relevant.
The following are some of the fake photos that went viral on Sunday:
The bottomline is that we should stop posting crap just to look relevant. You never know how such photos affect families of victims.
