  • 23andMe tells victims it's their fault that their data was breached | TechCrunch

  • I doesn't. Sharing that info was opt-in only. In this scenario, no 23andMe accounts were breached. The users reused their credentials from other sites. It would be like you sharing your bank account access with a family member's account and their account getting accessed because their banking password was "Password1" or their PIN was "1234".

  • I’m sure it was but I don’t know that you could make an argument against the ambiguity of “well, they got you. You’re caught.” And “what did I do? Killed them all, of course.” Those two things could come anywhere in between the rest and still be damning.

  • Yeah…one of the craziest TV moments I’ve ever seen.

  • I still get chills thinking about watching that when it aired. The weird burping and grunting and then the audio of him clearly staring at his reflection in the mirror. With the hot mic still going, he laid it all out there. shudder

  • Why are you commenting this to me? I’m the one that pointed out that the parent’s interpretation of the story was wrong in the first place.

  • I don’t care about what significance the results have if I don’t trust them…

  • Sanctions are typically the acts of a government state not the actions of a business. Businesses have to comply with them but only if they’re bound by them. That wasn’t the case here. Lush did this based on public outcry, not sanctions.

  • Wow. You’re fun.

  • Great. Putin doesn’t care what the polling says.

  • ‘I would not have pulled Lush out of Russia if it weren’t for public pressure’

    Jump

  • With respect, do you really trust poll numbers in a country where speaking out against the war will get you jailed or killed?

  • ‘I would not have pulled Lush out of Russia if it weren’t for public pressure’

    Jump

  • Yes… I think that’s exactly what he’s saying.

  • ‘I would not have pulled Lush out of Russia if it weren’t for public pressure’

    Jump

  • Yes, but no one has explained how the economy is harmed by harming individual Russians. If it’s not making a difference so far, how long do Russians who have nothing to do with the war suffer before we decide it’s a failed strategy? How long do Ukrainians suffer while we keep doing things that are not having an effect?

  • ‘I would not have pulled Lush out of Russia if it weren’t for public pressure’

    Jump

  • Again, this assumes Russia’s elections are run freely and fairly which we know is not the case.

  • ‘I would not have pulled Lush out of Russia if it weren’t for public pressure’

    Jump

  • I agree but that’s what I’m failing to understand. How does hurting the working class a tiny bit and making their lives harder do anything to stop Putin? Clearly the founder of Lush doesn’t and didn’t feel like it was the right decision at the time. It also not having the intended effect seems like a confirmation that it wasn’t the right decision rather than an indictment.

    Bowing to public pressure doesn’t make the public right. If anything, it’s virtue signaling to keep your customer base instead of it being the right thing to do.

  • ‘I would not have pulled Lush out of Russia if it weren’t for public pressure’

    Jump

  • I just don’t see how it hurts Russia as a nation. I only see it hurting Russians who have nothing to do with the state’s actions.

  • Russia’s GDP increased by 3.1% this year compared to last. The sanctions you mention did far more than western companies pulling their business from the country.

    I’m not expecting an overnight collapse. I’m expecting quantifiable effects, such as those from the sanctions from other countries and the EU, that are actually measurable after 2 years.

    I guess that makes me an asshole, though.

  • ‘I would not have pulled Lush out of Russia if it weren’t for public pressure’

  • So all the western companies that did leave at the start of the war… what effect has that had? The war still continues, Russia took over copyrights and trademarks to continue global brands going internally, and Putin is still President.

    When is this economic hit supposed to happen and when will its effects cause this change everyone is claiming? It’s nearly 2024 and these companies left in March of 2022.
