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.
