@peterdaou in our connected age, are "the media" really in control of blocking a name? The public wants to know who commits heinous crimes.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@digiphile it wouldn't be possible to completely block the name, but if all major media outlets censored it, the effect would be powerful.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@peterdaou would you expect local, state & federal law enforcement agencies not to punish names of suspects online? Or courts during trials?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@digiphile No. But imagine if all major TV networks, cable, print and online publications, regional and local media censored the name...1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@peterdaou do you think search engines & social media platforms should censor the name, given that news sharing & discovery occur there?1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@digiphile@peterdaou Being found by people who purposefully seek the name will have little impact. It's the media splashing that matters.2 replies 0 retweets 3 likes -

@zeynep@peterdaou you would not expect the name & picture of a suspect (or clear perpetrator) to be shared and spread over social media?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@digiphile@peterdaou Look at how social media decided --and managed--to restrain from sharing pictures of beheadings.1 reply 0 retweets 5 likes -

@digiphile@peterdaou And those who seek to do so anyway? Marginal impact. It's the splashing that matters, not being ultimately findable.1 reply 1 retweet 4 likes
@zeynep @peterdaou so…what's the mechanism here? There's clearly a market for this information in the public square. Govt censorship?
