No selfie zone!
A police official has announced that Philippine policemen taking part in relief operations after Super Typhoon Haiyan have been banned from posting “selfies” taken in the disaster zone.
Yup.
Lina Sarmiento, head of the community relations section said police leadership ordered the ban after several office were guilty of snapping and sharing photos of themselves in the disaster area.
Sarmiento said:
“I think that’s (selfies) being insensitive. People there are suffering from the effects of the typhoon, losing home and loved ones, yet here they are posing for pictures as if it is something enjoyable,”
Agreed.
The order also instructs policemen who have uploaded selfies from the disaster zone to delete them.
