Comment on A Second Tea Breach Reveals Users’ DMs About Abortions and Cheating
limer@lemmy.ml 14 hours agoI design systems similar to this; in my mindset the competency and privacy are the same.
There is simply no way anyone competent or knowledgeable would have made this series of mistakes in good faith. And it’s very hard for someone not knowledgeable about the tech to understand the magnitude.
It’s rather like designing and selling car with bad breaks, and your car gets into an accident which could have been avoided had the breaks worked. But nobody could test the breaks fully?

I don’t disagree that competency is an element, but your analogy is lacking because the user provided the information that increased their risk (sharing their photo IDs and real information).
Its more like the share buttons on porn sites. If you’re logged into a social media site while browsing porn and accidentally dox yourself, it’s partially your fault for creating a situation where that was possible. Yeah, having the share buttons is a terrible design, but also you have to be doing insecure stuff too.

Users are funneled towards actions exploited by both politics and greed. Many have no choice.
