Now I don't use the tik of the toks so I am unsure of 1 little thing...
Media report claiming the threats were made anonymously.
I thought all the tikentokens had the username on the videos & while there are ways to be anonymous online most teenagers, despite being smarter than boomers, wouldn't bother (or know how) doing them. While an IP isn't a person locking it into a specific phone really makes it hard to be anonymous (given the huge data scooping happeneing every second of every day).

Re: Re: Re: Re:
People are paying Lifelock tons of cash to provide lawyers & experts to help them undo the issues when an lender hands out cash to a random person who knew the name of your first pet.
The system always requires the victims to prove they didn't get the loan/credit card & spend a lot of time cleaning up a mess created by a system that relies on some of the most exfiltrated data that is rarely secured.
The system is rigged against consumers.
If a bank decided that voiceprint was the way to go & then got scammed it would be nice if the bank had to clean up the mess rather than forcing a consumer who never opted into this stupidity to be the one to prove they didn't call in to make this happen.

Re:
"she and her husband can't afford lawyers to help with the cases"
Like much of everything she says, I don't believe it.
I think they ran out of lawyers willing to do business with them.
Something something the lawsuits going both ways between MM and Lippy over getting paid lots of settlement cash everyone calims they don't have.
She has also claimed that their website is constantly being hacked & their videos stolen having spend millions to secure it... yet somehow video not even posted on the website yet were bundled up with many other MM titles and on the torrent sites.
Funny that.
Of course MM also created the massive multifile archive model to terrorize people into paying them the low low price because when you multiply the insane damages x number of films in the bundle the astronomical number makes people panic & give up.
So sad she wasn't in cuffs, but there always is hope...
I mean they finally manage to notice Prenda, can MM be that far behind?

We are just going to throw a small pile of your own tax dollars at a real problem, but we're doing it in such a way its just a windfall for the entrenched providers & won't actually change anything.
This should keep you distracted through the 2022 midterms so we can stay in office and do this again & again.

Well the journalists are terrorists to them.
They inform people about what CBP is actually doing instead of parroting the press releases where no one was run down by cowboys on horseback and lassoed.
It would be nice if they finally stopped pretending we don't need to have policies that cover the possible bad, because somehow everytime they have power they manage to abuse it.
Speaking of which...
Did anyone ever get the final report about the serial killers that CBP employed?
Murdering migrants and others for their sick desires under the color of authority.
Oh they spent those resources investigating journalists who might have taken them to task about the serial killers... got it.

When is the last time a lender had to pay when someone told them they never applied for that loan? That the loan was obtained with fake documents & information that was leaked by a corporation.

Re: Disagree with Tim G
But then wouldn't it be the new upstart with the 2nd p who would need to find a different name?
To show up after 8 years and demand that someone rebrand because you now want to use the name isn't how things are supposed to work.
They aren't in the same geographical area, there isn't likely to be much confusion (despite how stupid humans can be).
While they are in the "burger" business, it really is hard to understand how much confusion and harm there might be for a national chain vs a single location thats been there for 8 years.

The solution is simple...
Don't let the bank stick the consumer with the bill to fix it.
It is easy enough to show that the customer did not make the call so they didn't authorize it so the bank can eat returning the money.
You'd be shocked, just shocked, how fast banks would end this stupid idea if they have to bear the costs for their failure to not do stupid shit.
We force innocent people to fight corporations when their identity is stolen, despite the corporations enabling id theft.
Consumers have to fight stupid systems aligned against them like they were the back actors to cover the financial losses of a corporation who didn't do any due diligence before handing out thousands.
These systems are not secure but because those creating the systems never have to pay the bill for the fuckups they enabled, they keep doing it.
Stop making us pay the costs for CEOs stupid ideas.
