There's already a voluntary ban on reporting suicides because of the copycat effect. That it hasn't been extended to murder-for-attention is reprehensible.

I still remember this alleged quote from Germanwings co-pilot:

>According to the German newspaper Bild, a former girlfriend of Lubitz, identified only as Mary W, said he had told her last year: “One day I will do something that will change the whole system, and then all will know my name and remember it.”

Some media organizations already do that, typically for school shootings or "homegrown terrorists".
