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…

yeah, classic bit of cyber-colonialist history behind that tld. it’s managed by the IIS.

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.
