                      1. Reading RiRi Williams / Iron Man controversy & extra discomfort: pieces that criticize (rightfully) the cover but use it as a featured img.

                      Of course, image is vital to the discussion inside most pieces, but isn't using an image you disagree w/as ad on social repeating the sin?

                    Like: I agree w/everything in this article, but to share it with you is it repeating original sin under discussion? hitfix.com/harpy/an-iron-man-cover-is-the-latest-example-of-why-pinup-artists-shouldnt-draw-teenagers

                  Marvel is 100% shitty for trying to make money off this img but by making it the share image of a monetized article, you just did the same?

                I feel like we need to have a real discussion about the ethics of social shares as their own pieces of content in general.

              This is even worse in cases where the social share image ends up being a beheading or dead on the streets, which has happened in the past.

            Sometimes it is b/c we don't think about what it is we're doing, & other times because we do and we're not considering the ethical component

          Diluting discussions of share cards to 'is it clickbait?' misses so many points. The problem is not just how purposeful we're being, but why

        This shit matters, and not just because it gets people to read your article, but because it lives in an independent context in social sites.

      Some people may never see more of your article than the share card & may interact and reshare it anyway. It doesn't have to just capture...

    ... your share card has to stand up to the same ethics of journalism and your internal standards that your article does.

      We really need to think about this in public and really need to be more purposeful in our implementations.

        PS: You know where else this really bothers me? Photos of victims of sexual assault used as featured images/share card images.

          It doesn't matter if the victim has made the decision to be public and given you her photo... still, this is bad ethics on sites' part
