Regarding community standards, I think that it depends on context. For instance, when someone posts an event or a job listing to this list, I will often forward it on under the assumption that people want it to be public, but I typically don't forward on any discussions of security or particular countries or current events under the assumptions that the people involved would consider that private-ish.
Greg does bring up a good point regarding community standards versus security, though. Sam King Director | Code the Change <http://codethechange.org> - we have a Code Jam for social good coming up!
