HONY, aka Humans of New York, is an amazing photographer in New York that focuses entirely on very organic portraits of New Yorkers, on the streets of NYC, and their stories.

But of course this is the internet, and people love to judge. And when you have a publishing channel commenting is available, moderation is a must.

Some people choose to comment on HONY’s photos in a negative way about the subjects in the portraits. HONY does not allow this. They could have posted this as a simple turse rule. They could have ignored the complaints they received.
