> other news are covering also the story with her real name and pictures

Should they blur her face and not use her name?

This is a good question. It's easy to ask people to be reasonable and not take it too far. But there will always be writers online who don't have that filter.

Social media loves a good witch hunt.

At most we can only really be directly critical on a case by case basis. And try to push back generally.

Should this particular blog post have blurred her face? If it's certain she will be identified in other races regardless if her pic is spread around then I agree, it would probably be wise to blur it to at least temper the hivemind.

This is more about personal responsibility than unrealistically expecting everyone to follow your world view.
