Kinda hope these accusations are mostly true in a way, since Ars doesn't seem to show any compunction about naming names filed in a lawsuit. Would suck for the named persons if it turns out to be entirely false. I miss when journalists at least pretended to have standards.


It does seem like the involved persons' names are public, no?


Yes but few bother to read lawsuits. Most read news coverage of lawsuits.


So, while it's public information, they shouldn't report the names because most people won't read it? I'm not sure I follow.


The binary categories of "public" and "nonpublic" are just approximations for exposure.
