you know, I need to bookmark this for whenever people tell me that big tech has basically unassailable security
And I wonder what would happen if this plaintext stuff was discovered in the US by the federal government. Maybe the agency in charge would send them a strongly worded letter.
the dataset would be quietly stashed in an NSA datacenter along with everything else on facebook
Bet it already is.
Not to defend the US, god knows we love to lick corporate boots, but if Meta were an Irish company then Ireland would probably lick their boots as well. Or if Meta were a German company then the US would gladly sue them. Just look at how Volkswagen was singled out by the US despite all US automakers falsifying emissions and crash safety data for decades.
Why bookmark it when you can save it in a .txt file and email that to all your friends?
Oh don't worry I didn't actually bookmark it I'm just going to post on here asking for the link next time I need it, like a true zoomer
There's a mountain of security researchers out there ensuring that the best encryption is theoretically uncrackble, building entire careers around just the math involved, and every major tech company throws it in the trash through disorganization and greed by just giving people raw DB access, keeping copies of passwords for a "demo" that reaches production, or pissing off the most powerful engineer in the deoartment.

sure is weird how fb accounts get hacked so often, oh well probably the user's fault! 
Move the decimal point a few to the right and maybe that'll be an actual punishment.
Idk why anyone would do this
I do: you hire 8 offshores to do 60% of the work of a competent dev and this is the quality of work you get
Move fast, break things
