I don't think anyone who frequents c/privacy will find themselves in that situation.

MODERATORS
People are promoting iPhones in the other threads.
Those who do not move do not notice their chains. For a bunch of people who spend all of their time complaining about "fascism" and "enshittification", you're awfully cozy about putting junior's life data where it will be used to build an AI personality profile. Not only that, you feel smug when you tell people how eagerly you expose your family to tech oligarchs that frequented Little St. James.
Where is the shame?
lmfao touch grass
Not feeling chafed by Silicon Valley is quite out of touch. Using Twitch.tv basement dweller lingo doesn't help either
lmfao this guy thinks twitch is where culture originates
again, touch grass
Ok.
What is the context for the sensitive information being sold?
Margbaramerica and lib_crusher which is a bummer since I told those kind of guys many times that just posting our way through thr holocaust epically owning people on the Fuhrer app accomplishes little and risks much. I just don't get why tech companies are expected to follow their own arbitrary rules they repeatedly break. Why tolerate your friends being mysteriously banned or engagement nerfed until they barely even show up on your page, in the first place? Then again, Lemmy doesn't seem like it was designed for people who like to make friends at all.
Still not sure what you're talking about. What was the sensitive information stored on servers that got sold?
Banking information, names, phone #, home addresses & that of their family members
Just doing my regular check under the hood with the people who still think their info is safe in datacenters in the Diddy Megaupload era
Thank you, it's shocking how little common sense some people have.
