Analogy

When someone makes a silly film that causes Muslims to riot, burn and murder, the film is officially decried as "reprehensible."

So what do we call it when the Los Angeles Times publishes specific information -- including photographs -- about the identity and home of the maker of the silly film?

Our money is on a consensus that the former is an abuse of Freedom of Speech, while the latter is journalism, a time-honored expression of Freedom of the Press.
