Such a great food for thought comment.
One could come up with some great satirical scenarios to
play with around November 2022.

Damn, don’t care about most of that, but I’m suing if someone finds my gender.
Actually, don’t most people also have their birthdates on Facebook. That might not end well for them...

I have to wonder, was this done by the government to get rid of incriminating info or actual hackers? This is too convenient.

I’m amazed people put their actual birth date in FB.
I don’t and also list odd current town I live in and odd place for high school graduated from.
If you are on FB, best to throw strange information to mess up their algorithm

Inside the link:
" Update: After this news was initially published, a user of the forum claimed that they paid the seller but didn’t receive anything in return. The seller hasn’t yet responded to these accusations.
All we know at this moment is that the multiple samples provided to forum users appeared to be real. '
