This is about 200,000 people, which is bound to include 'collateral damage', i.e. actual innocents. I guess that's OK for you?

You have to be found guilty to be punished by law.

Well... I guess that's one way to look at it. Personally I'm not exactly fond of there being a threat of getting what's probably some personal details of hundreds of thousands of people just because they belong in a subreddit, for one reason or another. In my opinion, that's massive overreach, considering the supposed damage caused and the threat to privacy this implies. And yes, I'm a strong advocate of privacy in general.
