I'm not arguing against anonymity, i am arguing that there is a ethical difference between releasing information about that there's a difference between what a politician says publicly and what the politician really thinks, and the same situation with a private citizen.

A politician wants to change the laws and circumstances for our lives, and he/she gets a mandate to do that by convincing the voters that they have aligned interests.

Alright I understand and I agree.

In this case though it was mostly normal citizens who weren't politicians and they used illegal methods in order to gain personal information about them.

Agreed, and that is despicable.
