Am I the only one who does no like the fact that the co-pilot's name is thrown around everywhere?

It is not typical for German journalism to do this. Unlike in the U.S., pictures usually get censored and names are kept anonymous to not affect friends, family etc.

But this time, for whatever reason, German journalists didn't give a fuck. Might be due to the shock in Germany. Still, human dignity is above all.

Would be interested in your opinion about this.
