He said investigators have already tracked down one Camrose teen who had illegally posted the names of the four accused minors online and forced him to remove them.

In the New World Order of the Citizen Journalist, it's an interesting question as to whether or not a Joe Schmo putting the names on a website is actually doing something illegal, or could be held to the standard of a professional news organization.

Certainly, a real-life journalist doing that in a newspaper or on a legitimite news website would be cooked by the judge for doing it . . . . . but does that or should that test actually apply to the public at large offering the same utterances?
