MRTG is SNMP right?

1) You can't access a device that way unless you have a password.
2) You're probably talking about summary information, not full logs.

Your router logs are your own, but if you are providing transit service for IP packets(which you probably do not), and you make your traffic logs public information, you won't be providing transit for much longer. Nobody would do business with you.

You could choose to publicly publish it, assuming you have no contractual obligation with your customers or peers not to do so. That would be like a bank choosing to publish all their customers' bank transactions if they had no contractual obligation not to do so.

Let's take phone numbers as a good example.

You would claim there is no expectation of privacy for people's phone call logs.

Yet everyone would be angry if their phone company publicly published their call logs.

That anger, that right there, is the thing that clues us in to whether people expect privacy in their phone call logs.
