Is this some public bug ticket system? Or is it some “Mommy said no, so ask Daddy” kind of thing. People are too self-important these days… The logical conclusion of this is to eventually have some biometric data that ties you to something a little more secure than an email. I’m not sure tweeting about academic absurdities would warrant me allowing a corporation access to my fingerprint, but different strokes.

It's a "making a public stink is the only way to flag a meatsack from the company in question to fix the issue" type of system. Sometimes it works, if you're well known enough.

When companies don't respond through their deliberately underfunded channels, people reach out through other channels. There's nothing wrong reaching out, nor "too self-important" with doing so. Every time it happens, you should blame the company and not the person looking for help.

This is victim blaming. It's obvious who's the hacker and who's the rightful owner, but there's a Kafkaesque process blocking resolution of the issue, and apparently no access to any humans with authority to override the automated systems.
