It's o.k. to delete anything that violates someone's privacy
In Europe we are hearing this sort of argument being used to cover up Watergate-like situations. The next Richard Nixon might claim that his privacy would be violated if the scandal was reported. This makes me think twice when I hear the word "privacy". It's a very vague term, and can sometimes be used as an opposite to "justice".
