    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.

    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

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