free speech doesn't cover publicizing personal info.
If you read the article you'd understand why they are bashing GoDaddy, SecLists.org has an abuse email account and GoDaddy or MySpace could have easily mailed that address and asked to remove the offending file, instead of mailing him at abuse, or his whois information, GoDaddy without warning shuttered the domain.

Any bullshit from MySpace stating that there were usernames and passwords for minors in that e-mail could have been easily remediated by issuing new passwords for all those affected and offering advice on not falling victim to phishing (AGAIN). Nevermind the e-mail/file in question had been making the rounds for over a week, and archived in a number of other sites.
