=== United Kingdom === Laws and courts in the UK uphold the protection of minors in the journalistic space. The [[Independent Press Standards Organisation]] (IPSO) in the UK have shown that the usage of footage of a 12-year-old girl being bullied in 2017 can be retroactively taken down due to fears of [[cyber-bullying]] and potential harm done to the child in the future.<ref name="Davies">{{cite journal |last1=Morris |last2=Brigit |last3=Davies |first3=Maire |title=Can Children's Privacy Rights Be Adequately Protected through Press Regulation? What Press Regulation Can Learn from the Courts. |journal=Journal of Media Law |date=1 February 2018 |volume=10 |issue=1 |pages=92β113 |doi=10.1080/17577632.2018.1467597 |s2cid=150018753 }}</ref> This was after the Mail Online published the video without any attempt to hide the identity of the child. Following the newsworthiness point, it is possible that content like this would be allowed in the United States due to the recentness of the event.<ref name=" Law Project" /> Protection of minors is a different matter in the United States with new stories about minors doing certain things and their faces are shown in a news publication. The [[Detroit Free Press]], as an example, chose to do a hard-hitting story about prostitution and drugs from a teenager but never named her or showed her face, only referring to her and the "16-year-old from Taylor".<ref name="Detroit">{{cite web |last1=Kovanis |first1=Georgea |title=She Was Prostituting, Pregnant, Doing Drugs by 14.
