That dirty laundry is public record, unfortunately.
- rootusrootus 8y agoA further reminder that just because something is technically public does not make it necessarily okay to broadcast it. We have a real problem in our modern world dealing with all the data out there and how it should be protected, or not. Used to be it didn't matter much because you'd have to go down to the courthouse to get detailed information. Now it's being data mined, collected, aggregated with 100s of other sources, and sold. Yuck.
