That's quite disturbing. It's not up to the press to take responsibility though. It's up to the government to protect one's privacy. You cannot expect any decency from your average daily mail type 'journalism'. Strikes me that in the UK this is not properly arranged.
It has ruined many innocent people's lives. The press in the UK are scum, this case was local to me:
