What ammo?
Some people of questionable ethic and questionable intelligence gave a third party incriminating information about themselves and also gave them money all while hoping for discretion. (I say questionable intelligence because the real rich and powerful use different services provided by different people..) Any privacy agreement was a private one between 2 parties, at best covered by civil law, maybe Canadian civil law. Certainly nothing binding in any substantial way was signed.
It's certainly making light of online privacy but I'm not sure there is a battle here, it's just demonstrating that it's still very much the wild west out there. What should happen here? Should AM pay a fine to some government? Class action law suit? (I think that idea is particularly hilarious..)
Riddle me this, so suppose AM goes bankrupt. Can their creditors just take that data and sell it? It's an asset, right? Is it possible for a EULA or some sort of agreement to prevent that? Hackers or not, all that information could be in someone else' hands, that the users have no agreement with. AM is sort of the poster child for these problems but you may have given a lot of information to companies that you wouldn't want other companies to have.
