Oatmeal :
Best way I can explain it is to think about it like this
( if you learn someone's secret, does that mean it's your secret? Now as well)
The answer is honestly it depends.
What an example I can give is. Imagine some stranger telling you a secret of theirs. you're not really going to care. so you're not really going to try and keep it a secret but your not really good, gonna go out of your way to tell anyone either, you'll most likely just let yourself forget it. so it's not really a secret to you.
And for gabriel's case, he wanted to learn the ladybugs identity, and he found out it was marinette. it doesn't really become a secret because, well, the only reason he wanted to learn that identity was because he wanted to get hold of the miraculous of the ladybug and the cat, so it doesn't really become a secret for him. Either because the whole point of him trying to figure it out, wasn't that pulled onto it himself, but to get something out of it which he did.
So what are similar to the example? I gave, but instead, you are trying to figure out someone's secret, because it was attached to something you wanted after. You got what you wanted. You have no reason to really care about the secret. Anymore, you can go and tell people, or you can just forget about it. either way, just because it's a secret doesn't mean the secrets of yours now as well.
But it's called a close front, you told you a secret, it's more likely for new york's, because you don't want anyone finding out the secret could involve you. in which case yeah, it was secret. Could definitely become europe, secret as well. which gabriel's case obviously wasn't.
