Why Graphic News Stories May Not Be Safe for Everyone

Recently, the internet has been awash with stories and commentary related to Jeffrey Epstein's sex crimes, many of which are saturated with graphic and disturbing details. Some social media influencers appear to even be counting on Epstein-related content to increase their reach. Not everyone should consume this kind of material, however. When engaging with the Epstein coverage in particular or with graphic news stories in general, some people may be at an increased risk for re-traumatization or vicarious trauma. These include:

You might also have a vague sense that - like reaction GIFs, demotivational posters, and that guy who sang "Chocolate Rain" - you're seeing less of it these days.
