What do you really know about Troy and his service? Really just what he wants you to know.
For example, Troy stores extremely valuable information about millions of people without their consent. A lesbian women in the Arabs, who might have had her credentials breached on a gay forum, who also has a gambling addiction and had her password breached on a gambling website and on another dating website for prostitution services might not want some Aussie guy selling all that information about her to anyone who pays him money. There is nothing, absolutely nothing ethical about this!
My sister does not know anything about Troy, I showed her his Twitter profile and the first things which stood out to her:
- Old man
- Orange skin like Trump
- Loves to show off outdated cars
- Making occasionally snarky comments about Indians, Indonesians and other Asian people, always suggesting that anything illegal is coming from those countries
- Constantly tries to self validate himself by bragging with something expensive he's recently bought in life
- Very capitalistic and money focused individual
It's not great optics for people who have never seen his blog. His blog is just marketing at the end of the day. There is no regulation, no actual organisation or anyone who can be held accountable for gross mishandling of the data.
It's just an old Aussie guy who stores hordes of stolen data on his private laptop and in his private cloud and sells it to other people who clearly gain benefit from collecting that data from his service.
There is trust and naivity, and in this case anyone who doesn't find it slightly dodgy is simply naive. Sorry, but that is the reality.
