They did this insane power move because they can, because their government is run by a maniacle, greedy, evil, megalomaniac.
They are empowered by getting away with war crimes, if no ones seems to care about that who will care if they enter Syria and harras and delete some people’s photos.
If their focus was opsec they wouldn’t delete personal photos.
Why are you suckling this grotesque teet?
Personal photos as understood by me means photos that were not from this trip at all, actual personal photos from other areas of these photographers life.
In those other cases you mention did a military invade force invade another country to destroy these photos they claim you are not allowed to take, while not even being within their territory or subject to their laws?
From my perspective your adherence is not to objectivity, you are actively bending over backwards to justify unreasonable militaristic force into another nation.
