You'd better answer my question when the pj ga fund appeal started
The Mccanns are in no position to complain about any media including social media when they invited them in in the first place, did they think the whole world woulc just say what they wanted them to? Get real Misty
Press Release – Defence Fund
For Immediate Release
The movement ‘Citizens in Defence of Rights and Freedoms – Project Justice Gonçalo Amaral’ formally announces the creation of a defence fund by means of a solidarity account to support citizen Gonçalo Amaral, who has been deprived of his civil right to free expression.
Freedom of expression is an inalienable constitutional right, for which the Portuguese people have fought hard, and that cannot be placed at stake, namely when it is exercised with responsibility and with civility.
Citizen Gonçalo Amaral presently finds himself in the front line of a struggle for freedom of expression. An unequal struggle, in which the parties have access to disparate financial resources – citizen Gonçalo Amaral is forced to exhaust all and any personal resources that he may possess, and which are manifestly insufficient to meet the expenses that are inherent to his defence.
His opponents, who are well aware of this limitation, and who are financed by third parties to place considerable resources at their disposal, risk little or nothing, and gamble everything to silence the former Judiciary Police coordinator.
Gonçalo Amaral desires nothing more than to see this matter duly clarified in a court of law, which is the only place where the material truth of facts can, and should, be established. And we, Portuguese citizens, will do anything to see that happen.
Both parties must have equal access to Justice, and to adequate legal representation. In this particular case, we see a need to create a legal defence fund, in order to ensure that citizen Gonçalo Amaral is given access to said equality.
Therefore, the citizens who wish to show their solidarity with this cause, may contribute with their support through a bank account at BPI – Banco Português de Investimento, Sete Rios branch, in Lisbon, with NIB: 0010 0000 438 0385 000 1 62; IBAN: PT 50 0010 0000 438 0385 000 1 62; Swift: BB PI PT PL.
The ‘Project Justice Gonçalo Amaral’ blog –
www.pjga.blogspot.com – offers the possibility to donate using the PayPal system.
This action is subject to principles of full transparency and seriousness.
For equal Justice for all, in respect of civil rights and duties of Portuguese and European citizens.
For Truth and for Freedom.

I'd give you the link but the title of this thread suggests Google won't let me.
The McCanns had no control over what was being printed in the Portuguese press from the outset of the investigation, whilst themselves being constrained by the threat of jail if they broke Judicial secrecy by speaking about the case to anyone. Subsequent experience and expert advice showed them the correct way to use the media. What a pity others aren't equally as educated in the practice.
