i haven’t read all of the comments so idk if someone mentioned this further down, but there was a whole tumblr ordeal with this a few weeks back, and the conclusion that made the most sense to me was “don’t share information about someone that could make them the victim of a hate crime,” even if you think you know that the person you’re about to disclose to would be a safe person. You don’t know who that person in turn is going to share with.
i struggle with the topic of this post a Lot, and the tumblr rule of thumb has been helpful for me.
This rule seems like it might make sense in some circles and circumstances, but taken at face value means basically never sharing any information about anyone, which seems too strong to be a general rule. I’m not 100% sure I understand the context.
But, if someone is blogging on tumblr, pseudononymously, I do think it’s probably default to not to sharing private info about them with most people.

Is this in the context of de-anonymization?
