In a July, 2018 Washington Post article, it shows the @JeffBezos paper has been spying on Trump Supporters to the extent of obtaining their email addresses from Twitter regs and using them to match where they have been used before to track people down.

Not only did the Washington Post do this, but other left-wing publications as well, adding where people live, their employment, marital status and whether or not they have children. The targets appear to be selected from the MIT Media Lab aka @medialab that monitors Trump Voters.
Couple this with the fact that Twitter had recently suspended thousands of Conservative accounts in what was known as the initial "Twitter Lockout". In this event, Twitter locked out users for no reason and only allowed them to gain access again after providing their PHONE NUMBER
Considering that all investigative tools offered on the internet must by law have disclaimers that the person receiving the information cannot use it without the express permission of the individual or use it for public purposes on private people, I find this activity concerning.
The individuals responsible for divulging the private information of Conservatives at the @WashingtonPost are @caitlindewey and @abbyohlheiser. Perhaps @fishbonehead1 should contact his attorney.
I definitely would. There sure seems to be a lot of evidence in this account that screams, "I hate Conservatives" to me.
The other one doesn't even make any sense, in my opinion. Not sure if this is a joke or she actually believes this stuff, but I would lean towards she doesn't like Conservatives either.
Back to @medialabs, the source for all the articles found divulging the names and personal details of individuals who voted for Trump, it's the MIT.edu in Boston where one can find a very contradictory mission statement on their about page.

The Washington Post article confirms the individual harmed refused to speak with reporters. The Twitter Privacy Policy doesn't allow access to his email by normal means. What's worse is they did get his email and cross-referenced it to obtain his identity, location & published it
The Law: Invasion of Privacy Laws where it states, "Unlike libel or slander, truth is not a defense for invasion of privacy." Basically all you have to do to be found guilty, is invade where you're not invited. It's a tort case.

In this case, I would suspect it infringes on many other laws considering the tracking methods and sharing of confidential information it required to gather this information, verify it and disseminate it. The question here is, how many people do they track and for what reason?
