Are you asking me to provide evidence that the account posted false information and never redacted it? How about the very tweets in the linked thread where the account makes fact-free claims about how a “single IP” accessing “hundreds of accounts” (the former of which is not substantiated) suggest iCloud security is fundamentally broken. Of course Matt is smart enough to not state the implication directly, relying instead on sarcasm and FUD.
Since you went ahead and stated opinion as fact (while cleverly pretending that you didn’t), can you provide an example where I dismissed a valid concern with a non sequitur? How do you reconcile the accusation that I assert “nobody should be concerned” with comments like this where I clearly outlined why the announcement should be concerning:

[2] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28165116 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28165116
I’ll go further and say that I have sincere concerns with what was announced, but seeing how that Twitter account seeds legions of incorrect commenters who proliferate (and post intentionally clickbait material on HN, as the poster of this article themselves admitted on this very thread!) led me to the conclusion that Matt is doing plenty of harm, especially since he should know better.
