'Criminal' activity usually involves a victim. There is no victim here. There's a good chance the sanction was in fact not legal anyway, but even if it was... do we really need news every time someone commits a minor civil offense? Should I be publishing a newspaper every time someone in China uses the pirate bay?

'Criminal' activity usually involves a victim.

Criminal is defined as violating laws designated as crimes. Not if there's a victim.

Crimes without victims are pretty much always looked on as unjust when that society falls; and generally speaking have no place in modern society.

I see no way that couldnt be abused either depending on who you call a victim /s. See trans panic defense.

In the trans panic defense, there is still a victim alleged. (Wrongly) the man believes he is a victim of fraud, which lead him to harm the trans woman.

In victimless crimes, there is no possible victim to allege. There is no actual victim from sanctions violations that are designed to cause indiscriminate social harm.
