There, you can actually go to the victims and ask them if they are alive.

Obviously, not all of the victims are alive, but you can ask them, are they okay with having their names released?

A lot of the victims are public and have gone public voluntarily, so you could get consent.

If you get consent...

game over that deals with that issue.

Second, with respect to people who may have been caught up in this, I think there's sort of two different categories.

If it is information that suggests of a criminal nature,

There is a DOJ policy about sort of not besmirching people, sort of the put up or shut up.

And that's sort of one issue.

The thing about were they just communicating with them and you might feel embarrassed or ashamed.

Let's just say that Larry Summers is in that category.

Sure.

You know, that's a very different thing.

That's not like the government's job is not to like protect from that.

Yeah, protect your feelings.

Especially when there's such an important outcry and you have Congress having made a determination about weighing those things.
