Some stay-at-home protesters in Washington state exposed private personal information of those who are informing the state of businesses violating the stay-at-home order, according to the Hill.

The Hill reports that two Facebook pages posted the names, emails and private phone numbers of Washington citizens who filed complaints against businesses violating the order. The businesses were accused of allegedly violating Gov. Jay Inslee’s stay-at-home order.

Chelsea Hodgson, spokeswoman for the Washington Joint Information Center, told the Hill public disclosure requests for the information on who is complaining has been requested. 

“Several individuals made public disclosure requests to the Washington Military Department for the complaints that have been filed to date,” Hodgson told the Hill. “This list was likely generated and shared by one of those individuals.”

One of the pages represents the Washington Three Percenters, a nationwide political movement, and attached a spreadsheet with information on those complaining. In addition to the spreadsheet, the page said, "Want to snitch on your neighbor? Don’t expect to hide behind your computer screen."
