Is it ethical for a journalist to publish hacked data?
- cyrusradfar 12y agoTLDR; • Kevin Roose published an article that was based on an anonymous email with a hacked data-set • The data included Sony HR data • Roose published it without confirmation from Sony or any employees that the data was accurate Questions I was pondering: • Is this bad a bad precedent to set? • Should we be concerned that journalists are using their platforms to release private information or does it matter now that anyone can publish on Pastebin or elsewhere?
