When the private conversation of Donald Sterling was leaked..it didn't matter..because morally, he did something wrong and needed to have everything taken away from him.
When it was leaked that the Mozilla CEO donated a small amount of money to a cause that angered the left, it didn't matter how we got the information. He was bullied online (and offline) until he resigned.
When Wikileaks leaked the locations of covert soldiers in foreign countries, we had many people here on HN saying it doesn't matter if they even get killed..they shouldn't have been there in the first place. I was down voted and silenced for saying anything contrary to this or even having an opinion on it that didn't fit the narrative.
But somehow, because it probably effects people here on HN (and cheating isn't really a problem), it draws the line.
So, to me, this is justice. If you cheat and don't use a fake name...and your spouse/boss/newspapers/family find out that you are on this list. It's your own fault and you deserve what you get.
Let this be a lesson to you all: You should protect the rights of everyone, even if you don't agree with what they are saying. Otherwise, people like me won't protect your rights when the same thing happens to you.
If want the bullying to stop for being gay...it's a little absurd that a person with a different set of religious beliefs than your own deserves to get bullied in the same way (and it's justified).
In fact, I might just make a website that utilizes all of the data and cross-references Facebook, family, friends, etc...or a bot that automatically contacts them. To make it easier to find out if your spouse is cheating. It's similar to how the GNU uses the existing system to promote freedom.
This should bring about a discussion about privacy and why bullying someone online and destroying personal lives (or firing someone) for a person's lifestyle or opinions is not good for society and is wrong.
