Nope. If you intentionally cause harm to others with said rights. See my reply to someone else who made a similar assumption.

You’ve made a sweeping generalization in implying that since 4chan “as a platform” has caused harm, then all of its users are guilty/complicit and must relinquish their right to privacy. That and you’re still misunderstanding the meaning of “fundamental” in this case, since that adjective would suggest that the right in question is not counted among those that would be taken away from you in case of moral/legal transgressions.

No, I understand just fine. You’re ignoring the part where I said rights aren’t actually fundamental or intrinsic. They’re privileges society treats that way, and like other privileges, they can be taken away.
In any case, if you go to a well-known Nazi bar on purpose, what does that make you? People who go to 4chan on purpose aren’t innocent victims, and their potential loss of privacy is justifiable considering how much harm has come just from there.
If you use your rights (i.e. social privileges) to purposely cause harm, or to support platforms or causes that are well-known to cause harm, there should be consequences.
