No they're right. I misread it. Even looking at it again, I think the post I was replying to was saying that nobody would have a problem with releasing their records. I don't see what I'm missing.
Ah, no in that case you did misread it. They’re saying that “private information shared with a governmental organisation should stay private” is a popular opinion.
The “unpopular” and “in what world” act like a double-negative.
