People are being abducted by ICE, children are dying from starvation in Gaza, and Americans are fixated by more sensationalist tabloid drama. Let's get our fucking priorities in order!

I will care when these same asshats who said “you have no privacy, get over it” are finally ready to start respecting the privacy of the rest of us. And that includes not selling our data to third parties any more. If they want to make that change, then I will support their call for privacy.

No. One of the only places entitled multimillionaires experience consequences is via the court of public opinion, that or maybe an orca yacht attack. Centre his wife, their kids & how emotionally, financially & potentially physically (cheaters often pass on STIs to spouses) this has been for THEM.

Well, those folks were playing with fire and got burned, perhaps the universe was playing instant karma. I gave up on the thought of privacy in public years ago, that’s why I don’t live in a f**king city.

As I am very tall, my dad told me growing up: “Son, never rob a bank. You’re the only one who will recognized.” What is public is by definition not private. And most of the time is not even anonymous. Even most of the January 6 traitors got tracked down, ID’ed and tried.

It sucks to live in a world where every public moment of your life could end up catalogued in a server somewhere or posted and reposted all over the Internet. On the other hand, most of us should feel like we have nothing to hide. There’s a reason societies shame certain behaviors. Deal with it.

If you’re doing something you don’t want to get caught at, avoid public places. You know place where you might run into people you know, Tv cameras, media and more. Public places are- public.

If you take your affair to a public space you are taking the risk of it going public and getting caught. I don't feel sorry for them they are a couple of cheaters that got caught.

But this really was more about them going to a public event, where they bought tickets for a large private area the makes it easier to notice them, and then getting caught on an event camera there. Social media only enters into it after they got caught. This is literally billionaire problems.

I feel bad for people flooding the social media of the wife. That's messed up. But this is the story to make about privacy issues. Especially when this rich guy acted like that was the real problem -- getting caught.

Matthew 🦖 @moosewithablanket.bsky.social

Are there privacy issues today? Are there problems with how social media is used? Yes and yes. But by trying to make this story a launching point for discussing that, you undermine any serious discussion. So much so one would almost think that was the point. Weird decision.

Lol come off it. Everyone knows, you go out in public and do embarrassing shit, it's probably gonna end up on the Internet. Get a hotel and stop pretending that you get to live a normal life while cheating on your spouse.

This ⬆️⬆️. It's beyond embarrassing. As an employee, I'd be pretty concerned that my HR head is canoodling with the CEO. Pretty much blows any internal privacy assumptions out of the water. Suck it up buttercups - you're cheating? Get a room with fake ID where no one knows you - esp if you're a CEO.
