She emphasized that such posts often deepen the pain of grieving families and loved ones, who may stumble upon these disturbing images online without warning. Many Nigerians have consistently criticized bloggers and content creators for choosing clicks over compassion.
Following her remarks, several social media users threw their support behind Toyin Alausa, calling on people to act with empathy, show restraint, and respect boundaries when reporting deaths online.
