I would never publish an e-mail, DM or fax, especially unredacted. These are clearly meant to be interpersonal or B2C or B2B interactions and were never intended for public consumption.

Also, the burden of descretion is higher on a corporation like Damus Inc., not lower. My feed is constantly full of people horrified by corporate data leaks and a general lack of respect for the care owed to other people's personal data. But when Will does it on purpose for the lulz, we're supposed to be like,

Well, that's okay. 😊

At any rate, Will can do whatever he likes, but he has seriously damaged his brand and the Nostr brand, risked his app store listing, hurt someone who has always supported Damus, and has probably broken civil, corporate, and criminal law in both Canada and in Germany.

He is doing this because he seems himself as The Next Elon, standing on top of the ruins of a database he nukes every 6 weeks, and fighting for the permanence of some idiotic troll's mental vomit. Because the protocol doesn't protect against censorship, only Will does.

Okay.

You shouldn't be asking why Will shouldn't do this. You should be asking why no one else would do this.
