The problem of leaking private messages makes me more paranoid, untrusting of others, and choosing to withold info (ideas, opinions, critics) that might help to improve workplace relationships, innovation, and overall problem solving.

I don't care, my behavior is respectful so they can leak all my private messages. Regarding the CEO leak, i think it's good peoples leak this kind of thing to show the true face of PR words and how a person that it's supposed to be a leader is.

1000% agree. If you can't be the same person with similar messaging, privately and publicly, then why not? What is there to hide?

can there be situations where you share private communications where you would not want the public to see?

Sure, but those should be in smaller groups, possibly only 1:1s IMO. I've always been of the mind that if you don't want information to get out to a broader audience, either don't put it in writing or don't say it in front of an already large audience (even if you say, "this is a secret...." that feels like a middle school mentality for information sharing).
