Just musing here, but, is there any actual facts around a local Rag (Newspaper) publishing the names and addresses of offenders? I don’t mean to start an argument about whether people deserve to be named and shamed, or whether it is or is not in the public interest. But given that every company now need permission to share personally identifiable data under GDPR, and can be heavily fined for doing so without express permission... are newspapers exempt from this. My starting point if it is of any interest to anybody, is that someone publishing my name and address online, is breaking data protection rules.
