It doesn't really matter to me who the message comes from. When did the truth cease to matter? I'm not naive. I recognize that this kind of thing happens all over the place, but that's exactly why I get so frustrated at this type of communication, and frankly, at your response. If your attitude becomes, "Oh well, it's just Twitter, so the dishonesty doesn't matter," then we can only expect more of the same. Everyone around Twitter will watch as they perpetrate falsehoods in communication, and they will follow suit.
- hamburglar 14y agoIt's not that "dishonesty doesn't matter" it's that you really shouldn't expect a company to go out of its way to call attention to its own screwup. They only want to bring this to the attention of people who need to know for security reasons, and they directly emailed all of those people. The sole purpose of the blog post was "oh, in case you heard about a security breach, you'll be happy to know that we've mitigated the problem. Aren't we doing great?" Even if you think the answer is "no," there is really nothing dishonest there.
