People with moral compass (and possibility sanity) such as yours pretty much show that self regulation is poised to fail and support the need for broad legislation.

You crossed into personal attack in this subthread. We ban accounts that do that, so could you please not do that?

Moral compass or not, that is the current state of the law. Sending an email to a second party and then expecting them not to do whatever they want with it is as naive as hanging a billboard and expecting nobody to look at it when I don't want them to.

The world doesn't just give you privacy. If you want any, you have to work at least a little bit for it.

That might be the state of the law for you, but most of us don't live in the US.
