I totally understand that living in the public spotlight means that privacy sometimes is difficult to come by. I really do understand that. But there are still lines. While I find it distasteful, I get that the Mac Rumors and Apple Insider teams feels compelled to report that Jobs has been seen at a cancer treatment clinic.
However, linking to stories about how long someone has left to live is a different thing entirely — and is way over the line. Gizmodo, 9 to 5 Mac, Cult of Mac and others all crossed that line today.
Nice piece by Stephen M. Hackett (tip o’ the antlers to Jeff Carlson).
I’d stop visiting the offending sites, but that would require me to first start visiting them.
Thanks. I agree with Stehen M. Hackett that an inappropriate line was crossed.
