I tend to react similarly but this event is the first one that triggered some of my non-tech FB contacts to leave for more geeky alternatives, namely diaspora. The groups of his friends is discussing moving as well.
This is anecdotal but I hope several groups are considering the same now...
- skinnymuch 8y agoI’ll give back another anecdote. This did nothing for anyone I know.
- diminoten 8y agoNot only did this not do anything for anyone I know as well, many people I know used complacency language when talking about it; large data breaches seem normalized now, they don't faze the tech-illiterate anymore. The HN bubble sort of gives us a false sense that this is a Big Fucking Deal, but I didn't get the sense that my friends and cared, or even really knew.
- eiieirurjdndjd 8y agoI’m tech literate and they don’t phase me either. Why would they? My business is already in the streets. What does it matter if one more company leaks my personal info?
- stevew20 8y agoUnfortunately, this is how I feel at this point too... Though I might be special here, as the group that dumped my data was the US Government, and the data they dumped is ALL of the important stuff, including a photocopy of my DD-214...
- skinnymuch 8y agoI’m not sure they faze much of anyone besides some of Reddit and HN. The tech literate friends I know don’t care much either. There’s a handful of things that both those sites over-do like crazy compared to the norm and this is one of them.
