“Some people find that seizures may occur in a pattern or are more likely to occur in certain situations or under certain conditions. In an earlier section, we stressed the importance of keeping track of any factors that may bring on a seizure (also called seizure triggers). This is important, because avoiding or managing seizure triggers is something you and only you can do to lessen the chance that a seizure may occur under those circumstances.”

So, by your own logic, if someone gets shot in the grocery store it's their own fault for not being aware enough of their surroundings or not wearing a bullet proof vest while shopping for groceries.
Or, if someone steals from you it's your own fault for not having sufficient security.
Or better yet, if I punch you in the face for being a jackass it's your own fault for not taking the necessary precautions to avoid getting punched in the face; like, for example, not being a jackass.
You do realize that you have a criminal mentality don't you?

It comes down to intent. If you send someone something (a tweet, a letter, whatever) that you know will cause a physical reaction because of a condition that person has, then yes, you are responsible.
If I intentionally mail a person who is allergic to bees a box of bees and they get stung opening the mailbox and have to go to the hospital, who's fault is it?

The image of Mohammed has caused death, so we can't send that.
Plus no flashy pics.
Wonder what else might get censored.

It's an image. Images are not noxious, explosive, and they cannot sting you.

Obviously they can if you have a certain condition. Its not about the medium used, whether twitter, a letter, or a box of bees.
Its about the intent to physically harm someone.

My point is one cannot physically harm someone with an image.
Eichenwald and other epileptics are, or should be, fully aware of the risks using certain devices, and viewing flashing lights.
A Massachusetts woman broke down in tears Friday as she was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for goading her teenage boyfriend into killing himself. Michelle Carter now faces up to 20 years in prison when she's sentenced on Aug. 3.

Was this guy physically harmed by viewing the image?
Among those direct messages included statements by Rivello, including “I hope this sends him into a seizure,” “Spammed this at [victim] let’s see if he dies,” and “I know he has epilepsy.” Additional evidence received pursuant to a search warrant showed Rivello’s iCloud account contained a screenshot of a Wikipedia page for the victim, which had been altered to show a fake obituary with the date of death listed as Dec. 16, 2016. Rivello’s iCloud account also contained screen shots from epilepsy.com with a list of commonly reported epilepsy seizure triggers and from dallasobserver.com discussing the victim’s report to the Dallas Police Department and his attempt to identify the Twitter user.
