With privacy issues dominating the blawgosphere this week, here is an interesting development that might raise some eyebrows.

Proposition 8, which prohibited same-sex marriage in California in the last federal election in the U.S., has obviously upset some people in that state.

The Secretary of State has provided information on who donated to support the Proposition.

Someone has taken it a step further and plotted these donors on a map, complete with city, job, and amount of donation.

Although this information is publicly available, plotting the names in this manner on such a controversial subject could create targets of violence or harassment.

Is this going to far?  Will this type of intimidation quell political participation in the future?  How much anonymity and/or privacy should donors expect?
