  That's re-victimization. People do people stuff, like using social networks. Furthermore, the database probably goes as far as previous being bought and renamed by Musk. So... you're note being fair.

    I think there’s a fine line between victim-blaming and identifying an object lesson. We all understand why people started using twitter, and people are creatures of habit. But this is an example of why people should stop using twitter. We’re not saying “this is your fault because you’re stupid if you’re still on twitter.” The message is “this should serve as a wake up call to anyone stuck in their habits.”

    Giving one’s real name and real information to a social network who is intending to track everything one does or says and the people one does or says it with is idiocy and it has never not been.

    People do people stuff like not listening to people who have constantly been telling them not to push the button.

    People stuff also includes continuing to use these horror networks for years after knowing full well they shouldn’t.

    I’m fairy sure the guy above said “use X” not use social media. X is a particularly shitty platform.

    The actual data compromise happened sometime before July 2022, months before Elon’s purchase of Twitter happened. Telling people they shouldn’t have registered their real phone numbers to Twitter in 2015 or whatever isn’t really a helpful argument to make today.
