I have a question on naming and shaming. Years ago local papers were printed and everybody bought them, which no longer happens. One would see a list of people who would be convicted for road traffic offences, for drink driving or whatever. The witness is saying that one of the issues is data protection if one publishes the names of people who are convicted. How does that relate to people publishing names in newspapers? What is the difference?
