There are a couple of comments in response to my own saying basically the same thing, so I'll do the same...

Rossmann shouldn't be excused for making his harassment video about Daniel because he doesn't understand how things work. Anyone who bothers to think about it for a moment would understand that someone who had been swatted 3 times by a crazy person spamming community chat rooms with illegal content would be extremely upset. Someone tried to _murder him_ and was trying to destroy the project, and then this video comes out leaking a private chat, and Rossmann portrays him as crazy? Rossmann knew what was happening and then his first thought was to start recording? How is that justifiable?

You confessed you are a Rossmann fan in another comment, but even a fan should be able to see what had gone on here...

And you are defending the inaccuracy in his video saying he's afraid of being targeted when it's not even possible, and your excuse for him is that he doesn't understand. There is no excuse for his video in the first place, but to also add this falsehood that he even can be targeted is extremely damaging for a project prioritizing privacy and security. And yet even though I'm sure he knows this now, as far as I know he hasn't retracted what he said. I don't think he cares about accuracy. Among other things, he's a YouTuber and he got views and attention, so I guess he got what he wanted at the expense of someone else during an extremely trying time. I don't think that's justifiable, I think it's scummy.
