True but worth mentioning different forces were at stake there and here (although both very dark).
In Swartz case, prosecutor was trying to make example of him because his public University made/is making tons of money for providing information that should be free (or already is)
In this case, I would imagine they want peoples info to be leaked and exposed as much as possible, just to have a good reason to fine those for-profit private companies.
Edit: in other words - show me a priest who doesn't want you to sin, or a cop who doesn't want you to break the law, or a doctor who is not fine with people getting sick. Otherwise they would all be out of job.
