Oddly enough, this is similar to publishing social data.

If I upload my address book to Google, they can see who I know. Often who I know is also who knows me. Without the people in my address book's consent, I and my friends have collectively published the information for people who have opted out.

One is highly personal and immutable.

The other is less personal, however hard you try, and shouldn't be on the same level as rants and bilge drinking pictures.
