all of this makes me wonder when - not if - there's going to be House of Cards style blackmail + intrigue when it comes to leveraging data leaks like these over politicians or influential people.
"vote for this or we expose your $recent_embarrassing_breach data" is quite a powerful ultimatum, no? and the only way to win is not to play (e.g. never download + use a potentially embarrassing app), and we know that many aren't so digitally savvy, so this seems like a gold mine for nefarious uses.
i dunno, maybe it's too tin foily but it feels inevitable.
