So yes in that case GB News have broken that anonymity.
Wrong. As you've been told.
It's very offensive to try and link the widely known person (his names all over twitter) as being a victim of a sexual offence - extremely intrusive, presumptuous and damaging to the person involed at this point. Vile. Stop it.
Having read one of the many legal letters to the media from the young guys lawyers, I can tell you that NO such thing has been referred or implied by his legal team. It's very much a straight forward privacy issue.
Your fact free statement that the press has no interest in privacy is also nonsense. Read the press complaints body codes and adjudications, and Ofcoms code. In 2023 privacy and proportionality is very much a factor in all decisions by professional media
So no, GB News has done nothing wrong in those matter.
