hmm..I think that may be pushing the bounds of the topic.
I mean, if someone made a video of torturing my daughter before she was slowly killed, I would go ballistic if people claimed a right to publicly play the video.
And if she is now dead: she can no longer be protected by keeping secrets.
Only the living can suffer... and I see no reason to censor what has happened to the dead.
Nor frankly, do I see a reason to censor what has occurred to the living. If you're going to keep secrets: don't tell other people. A secret is only solely yours while you solely are aware. But censorship is not keeping secrets: it is silencing that which has already been said.
The best way to protect people who could be hurt by information... is to not say it in the first place. Not to anyone. Once it leaves you: you no longer have control. At most, I could see censoring your daughter's name, and/or your daughter's face, and making it into a nameless and faceless assault.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
