#2really? the most interesting messages where only sweet romantic stuff? This should be a treasure trove for journalists.

#3That's legitimately a shame. This is one area where people deserve privacy and lack of privacy can injure people in real life in various ways.
Hopefully they figure out who is responsible and they're from a country which cares.

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?

#5If 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, went to school in $place" -> take some words out of context -> some joke about stereotypical thing about $place"
I did not mean to imply that they'd just read funny excerpts of people's conversations, take them out of context and then tell everyone who said it.

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 do they (the other) think. what is a 'moderate muslim'. its fascinating to get some insight on these things.

#8This is a serious security threat for many Muslims abroad, given that premarital sex is severely punishable in several Islamic countries (including Pakistan mentioned in the leak), and even within countries where it isn't punishable by law, those who get caught frequently risk honor attacks from their families as has happened in the US, UK, India and elsewhere.
Obviously dating != sex but there's probably enough 'smoking gun' evidence of the latter to satisfy any sadist looking to inflict harm on these doxed folks.

"what is a 'moderate muslim'."
WOW! How do cope with such a high level of paranoia?
