What a bad dichotomy.
Most of us here are not saying either party is “right,” the story of this situation isn’t that there’s a bad guy and a good guy and an audience giving some kind of “pass” to anyone for anything. Everyone in this story is shitty and the people who posted shitty content they were ashamed deserve their shame for not being remotely careful about their own confidential materials.
It’s not even the same as “violating someone’s privacy” because that implies that these people shared something deliberately with someone they trusted, that wasn’t the case, this was people posting material in a semi-open space and not being careful about who they invite in. Fuck them, they deserve this lesson.

If you find out that someone cheated on their wife, do you have to keep it private to protect the cheater’s “privacy”?
Maybe it’s better if that person’s wife knows the truth.

I think it’s pretty comparable. The guys in the OP are getting mad at Derek but they’re the ones who said bad things in the first place. Their actions caused this. All Derek did was let people know the truth, and maybe it’s good when people know the truth.
