Question: Do victims NEED to publicly accuse the suspect? Do we need to shame the suspect before the courts have decided if they are guilty?
Well, it would be /nice/ if journalists would avoid publicly naming a rape suspect, but they just can't do that.
That reminds me. Few weeks ago I read a column about how USA and Finland deal with privacy differently. Namely the right to privacy that people have.
In USA those laws come from the bit in the constitution where it says that the government can't search peoples homes without a probable cause, in Finland our laws clearly state that people have the right to privacy.
The distinction is that in USA the law (and the society) are mainly concerned with the GOVERNMENT infringing that right and ONLY the government can do so. In Finland privacy is a right regardless of who would infringe it. This is why the media can publish the names of the suspects in USA but not in Finland. (Much like how the "freedom of speech" bit in the US constitution is only concerned with the US government shutting up people.)
There are exceptions of course. For example if you are a politician or a celebrity in Finland then by making yourself a public figure your right to privacy is limited, the media can do the kind of tabloid news about you that they could not do about "common people."
This also effects other things. In Finland you have to have your child's name approved and there are limits to what kind of names are allowed. You can't give a child a name that is insulting, would cause to have them bullied or for example give a boy a girls name or vise versa. In USA there aren't such limits and any attempt to do so would be seen as the government infringing the rights of the people. This is because in USA choosing the name of the child is considered something that happens "inside the home" and therefore the government has no right to tell you that your child can't be named Fart-eater-lucifer-satan.
Note that I am mainly quoting the article from memory and may have gotten some things wrong.
EDIT: Just to stay on topic:
One of the comments on Imgur was that there is progress since black people are now allowed to dine at the counter.
