Since the Intercept is *still* whining about how journalists objected to their abuse of a huge archive of private data on Gab users they got -- claiming we (and me) "lied" -- here's their own description, when begging for donations, of their intentions to target private people: 
I'm not on the Intercept's email list (sadly). I learned of this horrific email when an ex-Intercept editor forwarded it to me, furious they were acting like the NSA/FBI: violating privacy, not protecting it.
And here's @mtaibbi on what they're doing:

It's an ongoing pathology in liberal journalism. They think they can do whatever they want to people: make 20-minute films of their faces, baselessly accuse them of grave crimes, dig through their personal data.
But nobody can criticize *them* because doing so "endangers" them.

I should add that every time The Intercept lies about me, I get gross & threatening emails and tweets. I just don't whine about it when it happens because I understand what real dangers from reporting are, and it's not that.
Nobody will tolerate journalists' double standards.
