I doubt most members care if some corporation, or spam mailing list, or the NSA, or a "hacker" gets their information. It's more about discretion from people they know, their wife, their friends, etc. I see friends and coworkers on Tinder all the time, but if I came across one of my married friends on there, I would probably tell their spouse. >Finally, on the Tor hidden site, "How to maintain anonymity while using Bitcoin" and "Create a new account". If you need to use Tor and bitcoins to avoid detection by your spouse.... Well I'd say stop cheating on them because (s)he's a keeper.

I'm not all that interested in avoiding detection by my spouse. I don't really want to do anything that I'd feel the need to conceal. Maybe the setup for a practical joke? I was thinking more along the lines of skirting the bounds of some malum prohibitum crime--like buying unlicensed Mickey Mouse apparel, or eating a protected species, or building an outhouse in the wrong spot--where a certain someone other than my spouse might come down on me like a ton of turds if it ever found out. The gummint is a lot more concerned about policing my behavior than my spouse. And it's more uptight about what I'm doing when it's not around. Like a stalker, really. Tor and Bitcoin is demonstrably not enough to keep it off my back, and it is definitely not a keeper.

  > I'm not all that interested in avoiding detection by my spouse. Yeah, that makes you not the target audience. Ashley Madison was sold as a place meet someone to have a secret affair with. The people looking for this generally wanted to hide it from their spouses most of all. Undoubtedly, they had some customers that were on the site with their spouses' knowledge and approval, but this was most certainly a minority. That minority is probably bothered by this leak in the same way they are bothered by the OPM leak, but they aren't terrified of their spouses' reactions.
