TLDR;<p>• Kevin Roose published an article that was based on an anonymous email with a hacked data-set<p>• The data included Sony HR data<p>• Roose published it without confirmation from Sony or any employees that the data was accurate<p>Questions I was pondering:<p>• Is this bad a bad precedent to set?<p>• 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?
