It&amp;#x27;s not illegal. Google shouldn&amp;#x27;t do anything unless they receive a court order to do so! Why does everyone expect Google to do enforcement here? Google has the right to post this information, it&amp;#x27;s not illegal to do so, therefore they shouldn&amp;#x27;t do anything at all about this. Don&amp;#x27;t you care about freedom of speech? If Google removes this, it creates a slippery slope that will lead to the entire internet being censored.</text></comment>

Luckily for cloudflare this is a pretty random sampling of people around the country and world. Unless someone has put together a big data set from the caches and decides to leak it or inform the victims, it seems like most people whose accounts do get taken over from this will have no way to trace it back to this bug.</text></comment>
