I’m a male who does family law but also feel the fact that one’s past and doings can be so easily discovered by anyone is simply dystopian. Anyone can easily hurt or bring you down because your past cannot exactly be hidden anymore. These ppl are named and shamed forever that some of them rather end their lives. The emotional trauma alone (and I’m not even talking about practical consequences like going to jail or getting sacked) is too much of a price to pay for.
