I mean... if they released the addresses publicly, sure. But they just passed them along to Interpol...

  And interpol would do what with them? Probably pass them along to the police-services of the respective countries that these people live in. Some countries execute people for drug possession alone.

    Well at no point does that chain of events trigger a public witch hunt. Interpol now faces an ethical / moral / legal dilemma of how to proceed, but passing the addresses _up_ to Interpol was not a mistake. Now, if Interpol was to share the addresses with a country which they knew had cruel and unusual punishments for the alleged crimes then _that_ would be a mistake.

    That would be a great reason not to order drugs online from these countries then. Whether or not you approve of the law, you have to realise that you are putting yourself at risk if you are breaking the law.

      I'm specifically mentioning it from the interpol-level. They would at that point be essentially handing-down a death-sentence for a crime that they don't view as being that serious.
