Personally I think outing Brutsch was pointless, and possibly counter-productive.
The laws for privacy are badly in need of updating due to the internet, but in the current political atmosphere the government is not that interested in protecting people's privacy, for their own reasons.
Vigilantism against prominent unsympathetic figures like Brutsch does nothing to protect women from creeps online in the long run, (as has been very much demonstrated during the Gamergate crap), but it does take the pressure off lawmakers.
