Being informed about war? Sure, but

It has come to our attention that deeply disturbing videos, including footage of hostages, may be spread across social media in the near future.

This is not something you want to be exposed to, especially in your developmental years. As someone who grew up with unfiltered internet access looking at these things, take this seriously and protect your children.
