Good. I hope the company goes bankrupt. People murder other people and kill themselves over shit like this.

I can´t see anything good in taking the company down. People are cheating, they always did. It's not illegal, they made a personal decision. Why is it a bad thing to run a platform for these people?

Because it encourages the behavior and even makes it seem socially acceptable to some degree when it isn't.

If you're going to cheat, expect to be caught. If your search for sex involves putting any personal information online, definitely expect to be caught. If you don't want to be caught, be careful, use pseudonyms, and protect yourself from tracking.

Or just ask for a divorce.

What a blow for this company. What is the more ethical decision for a company in an ethically questionable business: shutting down the site and letting the hackers have their way, or allowing the hackers to release tons of private data?

I feel a class action law suit on its way...

As much as I admire and respect the United States and its people, I can't be but amazed by the reactions to sex stories. I have the impression that you can get away with anything, except sex. You can get away with incompetence, dilapidating tax payers' money, corruption, invasion of privacy, aggression on sovereign countries, authorizing torture, brutality, injustice. Big deal. Few care, and if they do, there are no…

Actually, I have noticed that this story has mostly been picked up by people like you, who want to rant about how terrible and wrong it is. We get it.

Hire assassins to kill the hackers.
