I'm not going to 12-angry-men the dude, you've seen the movie.

There's little benefits having El pais feed mob justice, lots that can go wrong, and there's systems already in place to deal with crime

It just doesn't make sense

Though he'd probably disagree with all that ironically, being from deep south ohio

The arrest warrant and the 2 additional children were not in the original article

Honestly if there's an arrest warrant and the dude fled it gets harder to defend a burden of proof that's hanging on a system that he manages to evade, though we've seen people genuinely just going back home and getting a warrant after but let's put that aside.

On one hand i appreciate the deterrent that publishing his name is to other sex tourists, but on the other if he gets beaten to death because of it, or worse, some guy with the same name - I'm not fond of that either.

All that while honestly there's already systems in place for fleeting criminals, not sure there's much benefits feeding his real name to the mob in a very well referenced newspaper.

There's confusion. I've maintained that to me, the goalpost is conviction. I cited an article that's less damning for sure but I still motivate my goalpost by principles, not examples. It's simpler to rely on an already established baseline, which is the justice system's convictions, and I'm okay if that means that sometimes, a very plausibly guilty man benefits from undeserved anonimity

But you know, every time I say that homeowners should indeed face jailtime for shooting a fleeting burglar in the back I face the same people with the same arguments

People like to be tough on crime, but I don't like people who feel the need to do justice themselves

There's not much more to say, I just don't believe in mob justice. If they're not convinced back there 10 posts ago they won't be now

"Don't do justice yourself" was never a popular proposition

I've also said that slightly below, so.

He was always probably a pedophile, we've read the same article

You still can't let mobs do the justice

Ill let you simmer that burden of proof comment real quick

I've never used archlinux

People who use arch don't come here they roll their own instance

Iusearch.fyi is speedy and blocks no other instance except the pedo ones so it's the best if you want a self-defined experience on the fediverse without rolling your own lemmy docker

Or perhaps he was framed? Or extorted by the guy who reported it? Or, he's just a pedophile. Probably the latter

That's why we rely on courts and allow people to defend their side of a story

It ""worked"" in France

It still kills most of the userbase when they do it

Normal people don't know what a fucking dns is

You end up with 10 more new sites and a drop in quality and an endless game of cat & mouse

Well, everybody agrees el pais is likely correct

The problem is the unlikely scenario where they aren't.

You already invented that he didn't know the kids and that he was fucking around. What if he got framed? Suddenly he just found out and there's no fucking around. Most likely just pedophilia, but you never know

Until proven guilty they shouldn't publish the suspect's name like that

Not comparable

It's a matter of principle, pick any of hundreds of examples if you want a comparison

Again, not comparable

Some people
