BBC settles with 7 October survivors for filming home 'without permission'

just think about it... £28k might seem like a lot but its not like they did anything wrong by accident 4£k per yr is what the BBC pays to that family and thats not even the total, i guess its just another example of how these big companies try to stay out of trouble by paying people off but at the same time u gotta wonder if its really worth it... wouldnt they rather just be honest & transparent in the 1st place?

£28k seems kinda small considering they invaded people's private space & made them relive traumatic memories...

I think it's totally harsh what happened to the Horenstein family . They just went through one of the toughest times in their lives, losing their home and loved ones, and then you have a news crew showing up uninvited to film them? It's like they were trying to exploit their pain for ratings . I don't think it's okay for them to be paid £28k to just forget about the whole ordeal . Can't we just respect people's boundaries and give them some space after something traumatic happens?

I just don't get why the BBC would risk paying out £28k to the Horenstein family like that... I mean, think about it, the family is already dealing with one of the most traumatic experiences imaginable - losing their home in a Hamas attack - and then you've got some BBC crew showing up unannounced, filming them without consent? It's just so insensitive. And £28k is nothing, really. A drop in the ocean compared to what these people have lost. I know the BBC has to cover its own backside when it comes to editorial decisions, but this case just highlights how careless they can be with people's well-being.

come on bbc think you're above the law just because u r a big network? £28k is peanuts for what they did 7 families were left homeless and traumatized by ur crew's actions and now u r settling with one family for that kinda cash?? it's not about transparency or respect, its about covering up ur own butt when the cameras stop rolling. and btw, if ur so concerned about editorial bias, why did u do a doco featuring the son of a hamas official without disclosing the link? consistent, huh?
