If it's not safe for people to use publicly available information then it shouldn't be publicly available. No one was worried about it when it was used to call Musk out. Or the 1000s of people dealing with stalkers that aren't famous enough for anyone to give a fuck about. Either protect everyone or don't. You can't just single out the rich white girls.
I didn't. Who are you arguing against?
My point is just going after this guy isn't going to fix the root of the problem. If him being able to do this is an issue then the information he is accessing should be restricted. Just making him stop won't prevent the next person from doing it to someone else.
I don't disagree. He's already had his Swift-specific accounts booted from Facebook, Instagram, and Xitter and started posting instead to his "Celeb Jets" FB and IG accounts, so it's clear he's going to play the cat-and-mouse game indefinitely.
But again, I didn't say a single thing about singling out rich white girls. That was a strawman you made up out of whole cloth.
That was meant more as a general statement to all the people who are up in arms about this but were jerking themselves off when it happened to musk a while back.
