Iirc it's not even an actual law, more of an agreement between all news organizations to not publish names like that. I seem to recall Geenstijl(Dutch "news" site) publishing full names and not getting in trouble over it.

Geenstijl doesn't have high journalist standards.

But they do have to follow the law, which is his point.

Sometimes there is no law necessary because an industry regulates themselves. Which the Dutch press historically has done so, in this example.
