The list of .gov and State govt email accounts is public transparency. Someone should extract those and turn them over to Muckrock.

- daemin 11y agoYou'd have to be really thoughtless to use your work or official government email account on a dating site, let alone one with a shady premise such as this.
- tomjen3 11y agoTrue, but there are plenty of idiots everywhere, including in government.
- joaq 11y agoThe real question is, do they require e-mail verification after signup? If they do, the list is a lot more valuable.
- daemin 11y agoThey do, I read somewhere that out of 35 million addresses in the system, only 24 million are verified. Still, I imagine that there would be false positives in the verified emails list (for instance someone clicked on it by accident or without reading it as they were signing up for something else, etc).
- BashiBazouk 11y agoA thread above alleges that barack.obama@whitehouse.gov and tblair@labour.gov.uk were found in the data base. Do you really think those two leaders used or even signed up for AM?
- GabrielF00 11y agoA lot of those were obviously fake emails though (foxmulder@fbi.gov for example)
- moftz 11y agoPeople really need to be smarter about using prepaid debit cards and throwaway email addresses. I've found multiple cc transactions from people in the neighborhood and people at my job.
