Some companies are vindictive about their NDAs and even the fediverse servers can be sued for info. It's not necessarily about whether the info is important, it's about their overall reputation and sending a signal to future employees.

Lol, no it can't. You can't sue a protocol, lmao.

You are incredibly naive. The servers exist somewhere, email addresses are verified and every user has an IP address. Even without legal action, databases everywhere are regularly hacked and leaked. I prefer to stand by agreements made and treat other people with respect.

Lol, sure bro.
