Letter: SR Wrong To Give Diploma Mill Names

I am absolutely appalled that the Spokesman-Review has made a list of the fake diploma mill recipients available. They have no right to abuse their privilege as a news reporting entity. They violated the privacy of many individuals who may have chosen to not use the fake credential(s) thus rendering them for entertainment purposes only. Further, they have jeopardized the good name of persons who, unfortunately, share the same name, or a name so close to one on the list that identities may be confused/ Candace Johnston , Hayden Lake (letter to Coeur d’Alene Press).

Question: Do you agree with the letter-to-the-editor writer above that the SR shouldn’t have revealed the names of individuals who received fake diplomas?
