      I'd imagine the times asked itself 1. was there real risk to Alexander? 2. was the risk because of a reasonable public right to know? that is, is it unfair to tell Alexander's patients/professional contacts about this big public thing he does?

      I think the NYT could reasonably answer that there wasn't that much risk, and that to the extent there was a risk, it was the consequence of informing the public fo things the public has a right to know about.

      the difference with outing some health care worker who has an only fans account seems pretty clear! you're destroying her life, and how on earth does sex work affect her health care work? why do patients or her employer need to know this about a person who is not a public figure?

      whereas, as @arthur_affect says, Alexander's Black patients seem like they have a right to know that he's said he loves eugenics.

      and Yglesias being like, "well it woudl have been less controversial and easier if they hadn't named him;" yeah, journalists aren't supposed to refuse to print facts because the facts are controversial or make the subject of a piece upset.

      all the "cancel culture have gone too far!" assholes rushing to demand journalists self censor is really something.

          Also there's the matter of accountability. A lot of the Free Speech crowd seems to get really nervous about the idea of being held accountable for views - and actions base don them - that are genuinely harmful.

          This tendency seems especially rife among the people who consider themselves "rational" along the lines of Spock. (Which is kind of interesting given that Spock the character was *all about* accountability in so many ways).
