Facebook removes content identifying boys found guilty of Ana Kriegel murder

Posted on June 19, 2019June 24, 2025 by Dissent

Facebook and Twitter were ordered to appear in court after two teenage youths were identified on their platforms as the murderers of Ana Kriegel — despite a court order that they not be named.

As Eoin Reynolds and Laura Slattery report:

The order was made after it emerged that social media users had identified the 14-year-old boys despite an order by the trial judge preventing their being named and a provision under the Children Act that prohibits the identification of minors accused of or convicted of a criminal offence.

Remember when other convicted murderers demanded that U.S. sites remove their names because they had been issued an order by a court protecting their identities? And remember how some of us said that we were not bound by what a court in Germany might decide and our First Amendment and press freedoms trumped (no pun intended) a non-U.S. court?

Well, that was a few years ago, and now it seems that platforms are making serious efforts to comply with non-U.S. laws — even if they directly conflict with our notion of a free press.

Hmmmm.
