Both the untrue aspect of Knox being somehow involved in the murder and the true aspect of her being wrongly convicted of the murder are "sensational." We live in a world where, as consumers, we are drawn to the most sensational content and then rewarded for our interest in it. Whether it is true or not, we seem to be endlessly fascinated by sensational material. Algorithmic formulas even reward us for that fascination as more engagement leads to further exposure. The privacy and respect of the actual person at the core of the sensationalism is sacrificed.

It is very unfortunate that there are legal mandates which control the actions of content creators but that there are no moral or ethical ones. It is sad that we would even need to think that one would need to force a content creator to be moral and ethical!
