undoing mods bans , Ordo ab Chao . <| sep |> PLEASE DONT EAT ME ! <| sep |> OP , there ' s no such thing as being a bother here . You ' re always welcome and encouraged to share . 😊 Absolutely agree with upuppetwithoutstrings . Block all contact . This is what my parents did . Didn ' t respect the initial , reasonable boundary , I need to take a break , is all I said and then the onslaught began . Their choices . Their consequences . If they keep pushing , they will lose access to me . I started with no phone , moved to unfriending on Facebook and now they ' re blocked on my phone and email . Their choice . I ' m sorry this is happening to you . Hug . You may find some comfort in this <| sep |> It mostly depends on the scale of the business security is often an afterthought , and internal security doubly so . Forums run by volunteers ? There won ' t be any internal controls at all . Social media sites run by startups , or companies that act like them ? Some controls , and it ' s likely a small group will have full access . Company which sell services to large business and governments ? More likely to have robust controls in place . Take the Snowden leaks that was a massive failure of internal security controls because a trusted insider abused that trust , in an organisation dedicated to security and compartmentalisation . Most businesses don ' t work anywhere near as hard as the NSA to protect their data from internal access or tampering .
