  • Pertinent excerpts:

    Verizon handed Poppy’s personal data, including the address on file and phone logs, to a stalker who later directly threatened her and drove to an address armed with a knife.

    [the stalker] used a ProtonMail account, not a government email, to make the request, and used the name of a police officer that didn’t actually work for the police department he impersonated, according to court records. Despite those red flags, Verizon still provided the sensitive data to [the stalker].

    a Verizon representative told Poppy that the corporation was a victim too.











  • Yup. That’s part of the poison of the two party system. The Republicans are now just the fascist party and the Democrats are, for the most part, just “everything else,” which necessarily includes some conservative ideologies. I’m not a Democrat, but I’m registered as one because that’s the closest I can get to an actual party that I agree with that may have some impact.

    I hope we can someday go back to “normal” Rs and Ds so that a third party option becomes viable instead of just a vote for the other guy. I yearn to be able to vote for someone, not just against someone.
