According to what I read in that article, Goodwolf didn’t release the data. The hackers released the data, the city lied about it, Goodwolf went and retrieved the publicly accessible data and gave it to journalists to prove the city’s lie.
Unless that article is seriously mischaracterising what happened, I can’t see how this is anything other than a massive civil liberties infringement by the city, who are just trying to scapegoat this Goodwolf person. All of the damages they are describing were caused by their own negligence.
