There's an odd new risk for startups: someone buys your company and then releases all the internal documents with hostile intent. The Twitter stuff that's come out now has been pretty uninteresting, surprising and often basically telling a story of people doing the best job they could in difficult circumstances. But if you are at a small company consider what all could be acquired and used to defame your employees and mission.

Corporate records and correspondence can be made public due to a lawsuit. So the risk of disclosure isn't new, and anyone should consider it whether they work at a startup or at a large company.

Just another incentive to act with integrity and keep personal correspondence out of corporate systems.

I don't think the point was that "corporate records and correspondence can be made public", but "corporate records and correspondence that do not reflect the full picture and that are cherry-picked to make the company look bad while the company was not bad can be made public while the rest of the picture can be kept not public".
