I have some family member that are older and of the old school. Some of them are embarrassed about a son or daughter divorcing and don't want it to become gossip or rumor. I have one family member's daughter whose husband left her after many years. Did I record it? Yes. But, when I uploaded to the website, I took out the divorce details and it still shows them married. Once the initial pain and wound heals, then I may add the divorce information online. I do it out of respect for a family member's feelings. I wouldn't do anything to hurt them.
Do I upload the names and details of living members to the website? You bet I do! BUT! The GEDCOM's are password protected and they have to register and I have to approve each request only allowing family members and I limit their viewings to 3 relationships out.
