Hope this isn't a repeated submission. Funny how they're trying to deflect blame after they tried to change the EULA post breach.

Scammers, that opens up a lot of scam potential.

Hi, I’m your new cousin.

Scammers would buy all info, not specifically targeted to people of Jewish or Chinese descent. That’s not what’s being sold.

Who do you think would want only information about people with Jewish or Chinese ancestry, and why?

OK you’re gonna have to give me a link to what you’re talking about. It feels like you are being specific, and I am being generic.

It’s the same incident, the OP article just didn’t mention it.

[–] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

In this case, I think it is more likely to be some type of Arab major nation, for the Jewish one, and I don’t know about the Chinese.

What I do know is there pretty much every white supremacists I have known has been one of the white supremacist stereotypes to a T.

Anything higher level than that it’s just conspiracy theory level on my part at least with that one information point.

Complacency is dangerous, especially when white nationalist groups are rallying and preparing for violence with militias.
