The source for this article is another article, which tbh is a better article:

https://cybernews.com/security/global-data-leak-exposes-billion-records/

That article does not itself have a source link, but it does show some redacted sample data and a breakdown of what countries are affected.

Rookie numbers! Let's have """age"""-verification globally and drive those numbers way up!

No more privacy! Everyone knows everything about everyone everywhere! Woooo!

Lol JFC what a joke this shit is... Yet, Zuck is pushing for everyone to use age verification online now because "if social media is addicting it should be regulated like a drug" Almost as if they planned this as a fallback when people finally fought back to the shit these tech giants do

Who could have seen that coming?

Seeing reports that this breach was faked for extortion. Proceed with caution.
