#2I don't condone this hack, but morals/ethics aside for a moment:
The one positive thing this hack has done is really give serious ammo to the battle for online privacy, because the demographic hit by this hack is the most politically & economically powerful demographic in the world....

How?

#4This seems awfully meta - as the AM hack revealed 30m people to have lost any real privacy in the digital age, the person seemingly / likely / possibly responsible is hunted down and much of his life laid out like a private investigators report through his digital trail.
It's curious - we are all being affected by the new digital pollution

It's literally the next phrase in the sentence:
> because the demographic hit by this hack is the most politically & economically powerful demographic in the world....
They're saying that because those affected have the ability to actualize change, it's more likely that some action will be taken to further online privacy.

You'd think the 1986 law that allows any entity in the government can read anyone's email is bigger ammo
It's the ultimate hack, because it's in plain sight and somehow no-one cares.
But run your own private email server in your home to prevent warrantless abuse and everyone loses their damn minds.

This is going to have some long-lasting repercussions on the industry. I fully expect there to be a push in the legislature to require PCI-like compliance from anyone who takes "sensitive data". That would have very serious effects for the startup community.

It's basically the strategy John Oliver used to raise awareness about government surveillance. Most people don't care about privacy until it gets sexual.
