Surely if Jack Dorsey edited someone's tweet or Eric Schmidt edited a Gmail user's email, that would be cause for great concern. Which user or users it happened to is irrelevant to the breach of trust it represents to all users of the platform.


On the other hand, didn't moot auto-edit people's 4chan comments all the time? I'm told this is where the current meaning of "weeaboo" came from, because moot was sick of the word "wapanese".

Although this is an odd thread to use Urban Dictionary as an authoritative source, that's what I've got: [1]

It can happen and if you treat your email with that level of seriousness it is a possibility to have in mind that it could have happened.

The problem here is people taking an entertainment site so seriously, oh they are blatantly fucking up and btw have been in the past other shady things, so stop using it.
