you also haven't answered how you'd feel if private conversations between you and someone else, with your private thoughts, were posted for everyone to see, with the express purpose of hurting you.
Or from another angle - should your government be allowed to read all your private conversations? listen to all your private phone calls? then post them where they think it will cause you maximum distress, even though you know that in that moment, you have done nothing wrong whatsoever?
Personal privacy is sacrosanct, and 1 year isn't too harsh at all given what his intent behind the crime was (in fact the intent is everything, imo, regardless of what method he felt would achieve that intent the best way). In fact I'd say that's about right. Sentenced to 1 year, get out in 6 - 8 months, less than 1/100th of a person's life using 75 years of age as an average in the US.
