I think they are saying names shouldn't be released until after a verdict had been rendered. Just the implication is enough to ruin someone's life even before a guilty verdict had been rendered.
For all cases? No matter what the alleged crime or lawsuit?
And I'd still really like to hear @saltesc@lemmy.world's perspective too
My entire comment is condemning people that make another's life so bad that things like suicide, emotional scarring, mental health, and poor livelihood in general are common outcomes.
If anyone would like to disagree... Well, fucking hell.
I was careful to not open a window for statistics, as that would be unrelated. And went further to make adement that there is no "which is worse" argument, as that is also completely unrelated to the issue of people's wellbeing and those that devistate it.
The point is simply that things like a lack of anonymity in such cases has created severe trauma of an innocent person and the rise of it during the MeToo movement simply underscores that. And no, I'm not now anti-MeToo, this is simply an example of toxicity in humanity using something intended for good as an opportunity for bad. "We can't have nice things".
When a person is found guilty of rape or false accusation of rape, good riddance. Until then, a court should be fully aware that the public's barrel of torches and pitchforks is not labelled "Innocent until proven guilty".
It's truly remarkable and concerning, the weird tangents and views some people share on the internet. I'll be optimistic in saying that it's likely a desire to just have interaction through argument, not sheer stupidity and lacking comprehension for what's being said/going on.
What happens to people who have been raped and weren't believed or were falsely accused of faking it? Just wondering if they have similar experiences with mental health?
I imagine that's extremely likely, yes.
Odd question to ask.
Well as people worried about victims I'd just be worried it might seem a tad disingenuous quote from a vast minority of cases and not provide any quotes from victims that never see justice you know?
