- The standards remain applicable and the Code expressly recognizes possible recirculation
- Private circles erase the prohibition on knowing disinformation
- A privacy setting guarantees no dissemination
- Only public-profile posts can affect judicial dignity
- The judge may disregard the Code if no case number is mentioned
