Read on the news today that a person from the US deliberately sent someone a series of tweets containing images that caused the viewer to have seizures.
I FIND THIS UTTERLY DISTURBING!!!

I'm guessing there must have been a lot of flashing lights. Shame on the idiot who sent that! About TV and the Web: I've noticed that BBC puts up a warning before they show flashing lights. The USA stations sure don't - I wish they would but they only care about ratings.

Please excuse me while I vent. I HATE THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES. All they want to do is to made money and we are at the bottom of the list of consideration of all of the R&D that they do!!!!!!!! All of the R&D being done, excludes epilepsy patients in all vaccines, anti-depressant and all of the Alzheimer's drugs. They all have seizure side effect and it makes me mad. Thank you. I feel better.

Anyone this mean should be forced to watch someone have a grand mal. Hopefully, this would teach them seizures are no joke.
