... or other war/conflict zones.
Why the warning?
The news is upsetting ("there appears to be evidence of widespread torture and abuse of detainees"), the few pictures they showed on BBC News24 were clinical and quite 'tame'.
I don't understand the 'warning' - if world events are too upsetting or triggering then of course don't watch the news. If a news story comes on which suggests upsetting content, don't look at the following pictures.
But is a warning needed? This has bothered me before and is not specific to the Syria conflict or the images shown tonight - it's more of a general question.
I'd love to hear everybody's thought on this.
