But that is the exact same thing as saying people should not be allowed to speak up anonymously. Either you are anonymous or you are not.

  I'm not arguing against anonymity, i am arguing that there is a ethical difference between releasing information about that there's a difference between what a politician says publicly and what the politician really thinks, and the same situation with a private citizen. A politician wants to change the laws and circumstances for our lives, and he/she gets a mandate to do that by convincing the voters that they have aligned interests.

    Alright I understand and I agree. In this case though it was mostly normal citizens who weren't politicians and they used illegal methods in order to gain personal information about them.

      Agreed, and that is despicable.
