    The line between the people and the corporate/political elites is getting more defined and visible every day. I hope people notice.

    here we have a rule that nobody publishes the name or face of people suspected of crimes. it’s allegedly “not newsworthy”. they all get called “the 35-year old”, “the carpenter”, “the third man”, until court proceedings are through and they are convicted.

    unfortunately, influence from overseas and people’s seemingly rising bloodthirst seems to be changing that.

      I’m assuming “here” is somewhere other than USA. Your system sounds better for protecting the integrity of court proceedings…

            That’s… Actually really messed up. Considering that Tuvalu was able to make a huge profit selling it’s .tv domains. Nothing wrong with .nu domains going to Scandinavian sites, but at least let Niue keep the money

              well… they do get some of it.

              Niue gave away their rights to a company, which passed those rights on to the IIS without Niue getting to do a vote. i think they got some official to sign off on it but it was never a matter for the assembly there. they originally gave the rights in exchange for the company building out internet infrastructure on Niue with the proceeds, and that has been done.

              Niue also agree they should not be the registrar for the TLD, since they don’t have the capacity. so the IIS does do some of the work which needs money. the main issue in the suit is one of “transfer of consent” or something.

      I think it’s relatively common in EU, unless the suspect has already been somehow outed, or has gone public. But typically, suspects and victims aren’t named.

      It’s because people are thirsting for him and it’s not the response they wanted. Attractive people are sympathetic.

        I don’t think people really care if he did or not

        1. if he did it, good. they deserve it. free him
        2. if he did not do it, why the fuck are hussling the wrong guy? free him

        No amount of regime whore spinning will change that

        I do wonder if it would be same if he was ugly. I do admit him being hot makes me lean to his side, although I was alteady defending his ideals before the Internet revealed his shirtless pics.

      Besides the New York Times’ inflated view of its ability to de-amplify a crime that practically everyone is already talking about, the internal chat sheds light on the other arguably bigger reason the media shies away from disclosure: its fear of antagonizing the sources it relies upon for scoops. “My source asked last nite that we not publish the whole thing,” reporter Andy Newman wrote in the Times chat.

      Thought after I read that: "When have they not done that?

    They should probably have a word to the prison he’s being held in then TBH. It’s like Paris Fashion Week over there with the amount of photos of him they’re taking.

      This is the genius who left his plans in his browser history.

      Everyone lacks common sense here.
