Summary

In the Harry Potter books, by J.K. Rowling, Voldemort, the main villain, was referred to as “he who must not be
named.” But, Professor Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts school of wizardry, encouraged people to use his
real name in order to not fear Voldemort. Yet authorities and the media treat terrorists like Voldemort, as if they,
their attacks and manifestos, must not be named.

Recently, New Zealand’s Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, announced that she will never mention the name of
the terrorist who attacked the mosques, in order to deprive him of additional publicity, in the hopes that this
will discourage others from following in his footsteps. Similar logic could be used to ban giving information
about terror attacks or even their manifestos. Hear what the problems are with this way of thinking.

And what about the current fight against mentions of terrorism online? Terrorists use the internet to
disperse propaganda as an important tool for radicalization, to teach how to carry out an attack and to get
the most bang for their attacks by perpetuating them in an online afterlife. Hear how proposed legislation is
supposed to work and what this means for what we get to see. If we don’t name terrorists, their attacks or
manifestos, they won’t cease to exist, but what a slippery slope!
