>The article doesn't need to make the presumption of innocence
Nor does the article have any business making the presumption of guilt, but it does exactly that.
I am criticizing what the article actually does, not expecting it to do something more.
All it takes is a person registering a name then receiving notification that others have registered the same name, then conflating that with evidence of guilt in the same exact manner the articles does.
If the article didn’t set such a good example of how to ruin an innocent person’s life, I wouldn’t be concerned.
- nl 4y agoBut the person entering the details already thinks the person they are entering it in is guilty, so unclear why getting notified would be "conflating that with evidence of guilt in the same exact manner the articles does". > If the article didn’t set such a good example of how to ruin an innocent person’s life But it doesn't? The accused person is never named publicly - a lawyer is involved to help decide on next steps. It seems you are concerned about fraudulent accusations. But this doesn't seem to do anything to make fraudulent accusations easier in any way because the public accusation is out-of-scope of what it does.
