Can't they just threaten to release Republican's porn accounts? We know they got them.
It's like the pro-democracy version of the Ashley Madison hack.
That would be hugely illegal, so no, they can't threaten that.
E: people, tone down your anger. I never said I like these Republican shitheads, I said companies cannot legally publish personal information about their customers.
I guess I should've seen this coming. It's fun to be angry.
It's not illegal at all, what are you talking about.
How the fuck is that not illegal? Companies cannot just release private information about their users.
The US doesn't have a full-blown GDPR, but it still has laws about what companies can do with people's data. They can't just publish information about specific users without their consent. It's honestly laughable you think that's legal.
You didn't read the tos update, did you.
They absolutely can publish non protected information and none of that is actually protected.
They can just do it without threat as there is nearly no privacy laws.
Just create a hackersona by taking a random Joker card from Balatro, and make it look like a hacker attack.
