SCOOP: A hacktivist has scraped more than half a million payment records from a company that makes consumer-grade spyware and other phone tracking apps, exposing customers' email addresses and partial card payment numbers. TechCrunch verified the scraped data is authentic.
By @lorenzofb and me:
congratulations, you just doxxed and partially ruined the life of a few hundred random queer people who have been using these things for consensual bdsm related reasons
what a great and moral thing to do
why do none of these activists turn their brain on ever
@lianna So you are saying that people who consciously payed money to a company that they knew made spyware, for said spyware, and thus funded domestic abuse against hundreds of thousands of people, are now angry because their data has been leaked, the entire purpose of the spyware that they paid for.
And you are also saying that they get to be extra angry because the reason they funded said domestic abuse was because they happened to be using it for BDSM?
This is not about funding something that you weren’t aware of. This isn’t even funding something that you’re aware of, but has nothing to do with what you’ve bought.
This is funding something where you know that the primary purpose of the product is domestic abuse. Don’t excuse domestic abuse. You knowingly and willingly helped other people commit domestic abuse.
Let me say this once more: Don’t excuse domestic abuse.
