#AMALAYER and citizen journalism in cyberspace

Amalayer - 

When one creates a scandalous scene in public, she becomes news/newsmaker/"public figure" and her infamous and notorious act deemed a matter of public interest.

In effect, by her public/scandalous/newsworthy behavior she is deemed to have waived her expectation of privacy.

When citizen-journalists/netizens report/expose her (and her newsworthy act) to the world via the social media, why blame the reporter/messenger who simply performed his citizen-journalism advocacy in good faith and without malice?
