Sadly I think this is the new way of doing things. It gets more and more acceptable to crucify people using social media. But at the same time I don't agree with your conclusion that this makes it right for Medium and Github to remove this. They should keep out of the judging/censoring business. Steam is sadly the only good example of how it should be done at the moment.

Edit: Because really otherwise they should remove the information from LinkedIn (or make it non-searchable) which also makes it very easy to get and they don't do that.

Yes I agree with you that sadly this is the way people do stuff today. An allegation is more important than truth it seems sometimes.

That said, we must protect people that are having their information leaked with a nefarious intent. In Sweden for example, you can take this information find out their addresses and social security numbers since all of this is basically public information.

Github and Medium simply don't want their platforms to be used to harass and stalk people, which is a real problem that anyone with experience can attest to.
