A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's not even a blow to his pocket if monthly pay continues. They modified the chat service, not their payment operations.
If it's only email addresses and chat logs I wouldn't call it doxxing either.
Then I'm confused - sorry for being this slow- how is this supposed to affect him or his followers?
I stumbled over this video going over what's in the leaked data dump (14 GB of text) and potential consequences (it's pretty good/concise) [timestamped]: https://youtu.be/j84gB2cbNps?si=msCVMyQzdCaf-VHs&t=474
Before the timestamp is more info on how their platform works and how they got hacked.
Thanks!
It's bad publicity. A failure to protect their customer data and people may cancel due to it or evade them in the future. It's also an opportunity to report on or discuss their other criticisms.
I can't speak for them; but it still seems like viable and productive activism to me, whether they do direct or indirect [monetary or personal] damage or not.
