Did the post have the data that was considered a TOU violation or was it just a link to the data?

If it was just a link and the personal data was posted by a third party than the original post should be deleted as it was a TOU violation. If it was a link and the post was by the user who's data was revealed than it is a problem of the user who revealed their data. I'm not sure how even a quote with the link would really be a TOU violation. Its not "invasive of another's privacy" if the user posts publicly revealing their own information in a still available post, but I suppose a really strict interpretation of the TOU would disallow quoting the private info. But a link to the user's own post should be allowed. If it is done for no other reason than to reveal the private info it would be obnoxious but apparently that was not the case here.
