It isn't just consensual activity between adults. There is at least one member who isn't consenting and it's because this isn't moral or ethical activity we're talking about. Part of the appeal of the hacked information isn't just prurient curiosity. Many people wonder if they're actually personally involved. The media bombards us with statistics about infidelity and yet other articles about how the internet and social media make infidelity easier. And then all of a sudden we have this Ashley Madison leak. How on earth are people not supposed to be curious? I find the finger wagging at people who want to check to be just as bad as anything else. There are innocent victims in this and they deserve to know, and this might have well been the only way they were ever going to find out. Does that make hacking okay? No, but it doesn't make their curiosity bad either.
