your morals are universal now? You're comparing legal activity between consenting adults to sexual assault, which in itself I find repulsive and worse than chea

  Adultery is not, in fact, legal in significant portions of the US. I wouldn't say it's like assault, but the aggrieved party is the spouse who is cheated on who is being put at risk of STDs and similar things. Also, while the morals may not be agreed upon by all parties, I think that the people who are hiding it from their spouses are not hiding it because they expect the spouse to agree. There are, after all, significantly more honest ways to handle that sort of thing than going behind your spouse's back. I had never heard of this site until now, but from what little I've seen, it appears to cater to those who are not at all honest about what they're doing. I certainly agree that no one should be going around dispensing vigilante justice or encouraging the same, as well as with the cautions that someone could easily ruin the wrong people with that kind of information, but it's hard not to think that some will end up reaping what they have sowed after this.

  Does non-violent sexual assault cause any harm other than emotional? That's why I'm making the comparison - we think sexual assault is very bad, while cheating isn't. Yet I don't see the reason for that distinction, except perhaps the degree of emotional harm it causes. But even in that case, it's not always worse. Your argument of "it's repulsive" and "it's worse" doesn't really address the question of why it's worse. What makes it worse? Consent is a bit arbitrary. Eg. price fixing is consentual yet still illegal and most people agree that it's harmful.
