Ah yes, the old Dating-Site-That-Is-Actually-An-ISIS-Terror-Cell-Coordination-Site ploy... Oh wait, that's not a real thing at all. Why should this be a treasure trove?

because groups talk differently amongst themselves than they do in a survey. i live in a muslim dominated neighbourhood. i had them for classmates so i heard them talk amongst themselves and they said some stuff that did shock me (not just related to jihad, but also things like: some girls talked about how they where not allowed to look western boys in the eye). but more importantly because we want to know this. how…

You live with many Muslim neighbours and you look to leaks of dating sites for gaining insight into their lives?

Why don't you just plant microphones directly in their homes? You are their neighbour so you should be able to find a pretext to be invited for dinner if you just talk to them a bit.

This is clearly a criminal and very evil act that will likely harm many people, not just emotionally but also physically. I wonder how anyone could be so deranged to do something like this.

But it is also a cultural problem of these Muslim societies that they actually stone people to death for adultery. This is horrific.

If I were to make a dating app then I would outright ban all of these countries because I don't want to have their blood on my hands if I made an error and data was leaked as a result.

Of course in some cases people might be harmed physically even in our societies, but it'd occur much less frequently and what's most important - it wouldn't be something that is supported by our institutions, culture and society.

If anything this will just show that generally speaking people are people. Regardless, I expect the staff of the various network evening comedy shows to be combing through this for raw material and will be disappointed if (after this hits mainstream media) those shows don't throw around some politically incorrect jokes. edit: my comment was misinterpreted. I meant jokes along the lines of "this guy is very religious,…

I would be disgusted if they did. It's private information. Just because someone stole it and made it public doesn't mean you should propagate it further.

I'm not sure which comedy shows you're watching, but I've never seen then use non-famous people's leaked personal correspondence to make fun of them, nor would I find that very funny.

> not just related to jihad

The prejudice is strong with this one.

You live in a Muslin neighbourhood yet to understand them you need to look at stolen private information? How about talking to them instead?

I think "this one guy writes said $stuff" "and she replied $morestuff" followed by a punch line that draws on some fairly recent gaff by a (Muslim) head of state, diplomat, CEO, etc is sufficiently within the envelope of what's acceptable. You don't have to reveal names and details to be funny.

I was thinking more along the lines of reading a message about a dress/laundry, etc that's followed up by a joke about Bill Clinton.
