There were multiple opportunities to redact the personally identifiable information. The server that collected the information could have redacted it for further publication. The application that sent the complaint to the defendants could have redacted the information. It was left in the open and the submitter was warned of the possibility from the beginning.

Finally, Avakian issued a gag order to the defendants. That is
deprivation of rights under color of authority..
