How is this "embarrassing" instead of subject to legal liability?
We really need similar rules to other engineering disciplines. If your building falls with people inside, you killed them.
- TZubiri 5mo agoYou said it, instagram is not life-critical
- Gigachad 5mo agoSomeone being able to take over your account, read your DMs, and impersonate you is pretty serious. Should be treated as a data breach with serious penalties.

- TZubiri 5mo agoSure, but it's not life-critical, lives don't depend on it. Other engineering disciplines have different rules, because for example a bridge or building with a fault might cause the loss of life of hunderds of people.
- Gigachad 5mo agoAnother commenter noted that stalkers and ex partners could absolutely weaponise account takeover in a life threatening way. Tech companies don’t want to take responsibility for the incredibly sensitive data they have collected and are trusted with guarding.
- defmacr0 5mo agoPeople, especially underage, commit suicide over private information of theirs getting leaked.
- spamizbad 5mo agoNobody dies if instagram collapses. Might even cause more people to live.
