When it's not enough: Outing the homeless part 2

I had some time to think about the last entry and received a few emails over the issues. One felt it totally legit to identify and 'out' someone on the internet, searchable simply on their first and last name entered in to Google.

We don't reprint or display recovering drug or alcohol addicts names or faces on the internet who go through our programs.

What right do we do this with the homeless, without specific release to do so...and for how long is that release meant to be good for if secured.

The whole issue to me really needs to be sucked in some spa filters and come cleaned out the other end.

The prior entry included a comment by someone linking to a gallery of homeless family's images on the internet as well. The one saving grace was that it's not possible to identify those families or their members by name.

With what a local non profit in Jacksonville did recently providing specific first and last names, I'm surprised they didn't include their social security numbers.

I wonder if you can get them if you called them on the phone.
