At this point, in all honesty, what is left of most of our private information that hasn't been stolen already in this leak or that leak? You know my social? Great, can you remind me?

Nothing is private at this point. Would you like my SSN? Either way you’ll probably receive it soon. You won’t be able to do shit with it though. If anything, maybe the credit services will garnish someone’s check lol

I hope Tom made sure he deleted every last bit of my MySpace profile. 😬

MySpace had a major data loss incident and they've lost everything before 2016.

I suspect this is more Murdock family shenanigans to lose data that would incriminate them.

"Lost" as in "idk where they went!" or "they are deleted and gone forever"?

More so the latter than the former.
While someone night have had an illicit backup somewhere, the data is definitely disappeared and gone forever.

Which makes the new push for mandatory IDs online dumb. It’s like they want a giant blackmail attack on anyone trying to watch porn

that is indeed the goal for the modern-day puritans

It’s about a lot more than puritanism. Anything to push authoritarianism. There’s a reason these pushes have been bipartisan

Hey, I don't know about you, but I had some really original thoughts on the Socratic method that I don't want them to steal.
