They should be sued, boycotted and the info should not be available through freedom of information act requests.

reading the comments is interesting...

 

Person 1 : It becomes everyone's business when your property is a hazard or risk to others. If you on a sweater that's fine. A gun is more like a car. If you want to own it and operate it there some regulations to limit the risk that your neighbors have to endure.

 

Person 2: So that infectious disease you have should be public information?

 

Person 3: He has a good point since GP committed the initial fallacy of saying that an inanimate object is a risk to others. Diseases are not a risk to others if the carrier follows quarantine procedures, in the same manner that guns are not a risk to others if owners keep their guns secured. However, if we are to make the assumption that gun owners in the aggregate cannot be trusted to be 100% vigilant in securing their guns and therefore pose a risk to others, then we must assume the same of disease carriers.

 

pretty interesting back and forth

 

slashdot it a pretty nerdy site with some nerds that make good points

 

And on the other hand.. other people stated the paper received the information legally.

Dupe. We've had a few threads about it already. The addresses and numbers of the woman who posted the article and her boss have been posted online.
