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.

They're probably a bunch of dumb teenagers trying to make a splash. Professionals would've sold the data without informing anyone.
Managers sign off on worse and more risky decisions all the time. They just know when to not leave a paper trail.
