Note on August 2025: JK Rowling is a dangerous TERF, and her subsidising of hate speech should be stopped. Maybe she could re-read this and see if she recognises herself in this person.
I do not accept that just because something is not a secret (or possible to discover) means that it isn’t private and can therefore be published in a newspaper.

Of course, had the information been made available […] there would have been no way of making the information
private again.
This is a really interesting (and mind you, well written) piece on the dark side of public interest.
