No. The problem is you are conflating an opt-in experience such as a video game with real life. Human intent and behavior is largely irrelevant in a video game, because there are no actual consequences, and everybody has opted in to the experience. By opting in, you agree to the gameplay mechanics and rules of the server by default. If you disagree, that means you stop playing.

The only time human intent and behavior matters in a video game is if you are breaking the rules of the video game, or are somehow creating problems in real life, such as revealing someone's home address.

Waking the Sleeper is within the rules of the server, which you agreed upon by opting in to play P99. You cannot maliciously wake Sleeper, unless you can somehow show Seal Team broke the rules. Sleeper does not give out peoples home addresses upon awakening, so no real life consequences have occurred either.
