I am sure it suits the extremists and terrorists just fine to increase publication. They want to bring the fight to as many fronts as possible. I see their attacks, including the one on Charlie Hebdo, less as a silencing tactic and more of an invitation to escalate. Increasing publication just feeds into that.

The best response is for everyone to go about their business like they did a week ago. If people/media were not going to publish the images on January 6th because they are in bad taste, then they shouldn't today just out of spite. Changing our behavior at all gives them power.
