I'm flagging this because the title says "privately", and I agree that it's a private email. It has no place on HN, and we aren't its intended recipient. you

you can't blame the NSA for having agents reading your private email and looking through your private Internet traffic, if you are going to turn around and do the same thing at the first opportunity.
- jsprogrammer 12y agoDoes the NSA publicly post its archive for anyone to view?
- icebraining 12y agoI don't blame NSA just for reading private stuff. I blame the NSA because they abuse their position that allows them to read that, much like I blame whoever leaked this email for having done so. To me, your position is like, as we say in my country, "covering the sun with a sieve". The act is done, trying to oppose it now is futile.

- choppaface 12y agoThis email was released earlier, e.g. on Business Insider: http://www.businessinsider.com/snapchat-ceo-evan-spiegel-has-grown-up-2014-12 http://www.businessinsider.com/snapchat-ceo-evan-spiegel-has...
- logicallee 12y agoI meant that the source is still the leak. Honestly, this is Paparazzi-level stuff here. Plus, these are run-of-the-mill private emails, there is no public-interest angle here at all.

- choppaface 12y agoOk, Business Insider was using the leak, fair enough. However, Business Insider did so in a derivative work and an article that praises Evan Spiegel. They demonstrated non-zero integrity by trying to positively steer the conversation over the leaked data. I don't think there's a strong enough consensus on the leaked data to warrant flagging. Certainly legitimate to downvote the link, but a flagging should require communal consensus on a position, no?
- logicallee 12y agoSure, okay. As far as HN, flagging is the only way to say something may be inappropriate for the front page - you can't downvote links :)
