There are banking details, passports, drivers license info for thousands of people.. It'd be hugely irresponsible to publish all of that in a Torrent.. Redacted docs are accompanying all of the news reports.

More or less irresponsible than to "manage" access through rather establishment org?

- Passports: Not Secret.

- Drivers Licenses: Also Not Secret.

- Banking details of the people who have been ripping off the rest of the world...sorry if I fail to see the downside of dumping all of it :)

EDIT:

At the same time, I understand where you're coming from so thanks for the info mikeyouse!

Some of whom had been ripping off the world, many of whom who are completely innocent.. Also, it'd be incredibly easy to steal identities of just about anyone in the data dump if you had the level of detail the documents have.

How are documents that can directly lead to the identity theft of people not a privacy issue?

You see, in a civilized world you would treat people by the same standards that you want to be treated.
