You need to publicly shame them on twitter. That is a massive breach likely happening to other users as well. HN has a decent audience but twitter has an enormous audience.
Tag some tech reporters as well for extra fun.
- tasogare 6y agoYou need a personal audience for that. Posting on Twitter with 10 followers at best isn’t likely to make it.
- chris_vancity 6y agonot with the right hashtag or mentions
- sbarre 6y agoWhy don't you go ahead and do that, and then report back to us on your success.
- defnotashton2 6y agoYea like all social media platforms these days you usually have to pay in one way or a not to promote a hash tag. I bet most of the popular hash tags you know of were sponsored at some point.

The communication with Instacart makes me feel that they suspect I have stolen somebody’s credit card to make the purchase, and after they reopened my account I can see that person’s cell number and address and such, and I don’t know an easy way to go public without showing the proof, which is another person’s private information.
