In my free time I help out with editing an online blog. I get on well with the owner, but on the relatively rare occasions that I disagree with him, he can be rather stubborn.
Yesterday the owner of the blog wrote an article about a troll who had attacked him online. What concerned me was that the blog owner included a link to the troll's online CV (resume), which has his name, full address and phone number at the top.
I was concerned that this was an invasion of privacy and might even put the person at risk (and I also feel it's unethical), so I shared my concerns with the blog owner, but he was dismissive and made me feel as if I was worrying over nothing. I didn't want to argue with him so I just left it.
When I woke up this morning, I saw that someone on Facebook had commented on the link to the article, saying "this is an open contract for murder". That really freaked me out so I went into the blog article and edited out the link to the troll's online CV.
The blog owner wasn't online at the time (otherwise I would have mentioned it to him), and he still hasn't noticed that I removed the link to the CV in his article. I'm worried that he will be angry If he does notice, so I'm wondering if I should confess to him and hope that he will understand why I took the action that I did?
