I think the problem is that they don't follow up. That's the policy that is needed.

In that case, shouldn't the policy be to only report on convictions?

Even in that case, the internet now never forgets. One small mistake when young can impact one's future significantly. The memory of humanity of a whole continues to expand exponentially. Could lead to some interesting outcomes.

I don't think that's the answer. People can be wrongfully convicted.
