It's a free dating service. They have a responsibility to respect their users' data privacy, but the rest kind of doesn't matter. Eventual stability is more profitable than eventual release if you're not a Bank or making self driving cars.
- skybrian 8y agoYeah, I expect the devs at Ashley Madison told themselves that too. It's possible to build sandboxes where security or privacy bugs are contained, but the shops that don't care much about software quality are probably not doing that. It seems a little too easy for people building a social app to tell themselves they're just building a toy that doesn't matter. Their users might disagree after they get hacked.
