No good comes of this from any angle. We have a self appointed "morality police" running around exposing people registered on AM. Although for the most part, many people would agree that cheating on your spouse is generally considered wrong - what really makes that anybody else's business?
How does a group of hackers sit down at a round table and make the consensus that an act is immoral? What if somebody exposed every aspect of the hackers lives because they believe their actions were immoral? After all, personal privacy is a pretty hot topic no matter where you go. How would they feel or react to that? When would it end? What if a group of like minded people decided to expose people based on political leanings or ideologies? Religious beliefs? Sexual orientation? Socioeconomic status? Or (insert your deepest darkest secret here)?
Much of this stems from too many people not wanting to mind their own business. The very same things have been going on way before the age of the Internet, and I suspect they will continue occurring long after it is dead and whatever futuristic equivalent takes its place. You can't change basic human behaviour. What drives the moral imperative to air out someone else's dirty laundry?
Short of a world shattering issue that impacts major corporations, the general public or government at large,... I just don't think it necessary that EVERYBODY needs to know about Susie down the block looking for an affair, nor her motive for doing so. That's really none of your business, and it's a private matter.
