  and it’s especially surprising coming from two companies that serve billions of users worldwide

  I mean, deanonymization and data-mining costs are gonna be R&D, so they’re a fixed cost that doesn’t really scale up with the size of the userbase, so it makes more sense, financially, for a company with a larger userbase to be putting resources into it.

  Well. Fuck them. They banned me for calling out racists. Glad they don’t have my data anymore.
