The inter-what?
When the second suspect in the shooting death of Jordan Manners was apprehended last night, as I understand it, it became illegal to publish his name. At 3:50pm today, a Google search on that name yielded 241 hits. I support publication bans on the names of accused young offenders - hell, I'm not so sure they shouldn't do it for adults - but the justice system desperately needs to get a handle on the way information is disseminated in the 21st century.
