Yeah Wiki sort of pioneered it, kinda realizing a reality the cypherpunks talked about years prior. Would you say a line is crossed if it isn't government data? Say hospital records or university registrar?

The line is crossed not when the information is gathered but when it is published. Wikileaks reviews and redacts all the data before publishing, removing PII and so on in order for it not to cause any harm.
