I don't know.

Corporate leaks are pretty serious, and maintaining a culture of no leaks is a CEO-level priority.

Handling these at the CEO level feels far more appropriate and effective than delegating it to a security specialist nobody's heard of before and whose e-mail will mostly just be ignored.

I don't see "insecure loser" at all, I see a CEO acting correctly to nip a problem in the bud.

Except for the "please resign" subject line which is a bit hyperbolic.

Corporations aren't people and don't (or shouldn't, anyway) have privacy rights.

[crazygringo]

None of this has anything to do with privacy rights.

This is private enforcement of secrets with employees. If you leak company secrets, your in opposition to what you were hired for, and you get fired.

Nobody's arguing the journalist who published the story shouldn't have been legally permitted to.

Privacy? I’m not sure what you think that means in this context.

If Corporations weren't people you wouldn't be able to sue them. Read more.

[majormajor]

Corporations aren't the only non-individual entity you can sue, and the ability to sue could be extended separately from other person-like rights or responsibilities (see, for instance, that corporations can't vote).

The government isn't a person, but I can sue them.

Hell, I could sue companies before the supreme court determined they're people for election campaign fund purposes.
