This is some Grade-A whataboutism right here.
Of COURSE the people in that group chat deserve punishment, and probably the same 20 years that French(?) guy got depending on who all did what.
Just because that happened though doesn't excuse that this happened. The company did a horrendous thing by holding onto highly sensitive and private data it said it should have deleted and then failed to secure it in any way, AND the userbase was absolutely vile and abusive towards men.
All three things need to see justice brought to them, and you should not excuse one just because another happened and wasn't dealt with properly.
