Holy shit this is nuclear. I shy away from hyperbolic statements, but this is front-page news and there will/should be longer-term fallout. This is an example of high-tech corporations using their corporate might to terrorize not just private individuals, but individuals engaged in journalism. The plausible deniability is gone; these were C-suite people and entire departments were involved. NEWS people are going to be all over this at multiple angles: Big-tech uses private data to terrorize, intimidate, and control. When big-tech goes after small-time journalists. Profiles of executives and the fallout for their careers. You can bet there will be a multi-million dollar settlement from eBay. This story has legs.
