OK. How am I then not allowed to post here what happened in the court?

IANAL, but in general, doxxing people is just a really mean thing to do.

Convicted criminal? Sure, write a story. In the most hopeful case, the sentence they serve will help reintegrate them with society - even then, it's good to know who you're dealing with.

Proven innocent? Lawful or not, you're now carrying the weight of possibly ruining someone's life even further. Sleep on that.

You are allowed to post what happened in the court. You are also allowed to share names and even video to at least a limited audience.
