We're not allowed to say it, but we all know anyway, because Google. This information gets out whether it's "supposed to" or not. In many cases, that's a good thing.

As awful as it is, I don't think mass censorship is a price worth paying. Not for anything. Let alone to stop a few potentially false allegations.

Keeping someone's name out of the press until they are found guilty is not censorship. If they're going to name suspects because they're famous, then they should name everyone who is accused of anything. We are all supposed to be equal in the eyes of the law.
