If a social media platform blocks an account that publishes a list of names in federal positions that draw a lot of hostility, like IRS agents, I'd be at least sympathetic if not supportive. This has the same kind of ethical ambiguity. If your line between accountability and security is sharp then your world is more monochrome than mine.

Also ambiguous would be sympathy for this but not for the many private citizens called out publicly on social media by platform owners and government officials for the express purpose of risking those citizens' safety, especially since most citizens don't have the secret service and endless taxpayer money to protect them.

There is no ethical ambiguity in sharing public records publicly. This information would fall under FOIA (due to the very actions of DOGE exceeding its authority as an office under the President), which a court has recently ruled DOGE is required to comply with.
