Nope, still don’t get it. 
The journalist publicised details* about someone who wants to remain private, for no better reason than “hey, guess who I found; aren’t I clever?!”.
The public doesn’t have a need to know and, for me, individual privacy/anonymity is paramount.
He wants to be left alone. Leave him alone.
*: Yes, I know the details were technically in the public domain, but drawing them to people’s attention isn’t a neutral act: I consider it pointlessly hostile in this case, and contemptible.
