Just another site has been hacked, so what?
I find the personal and social implications much more interesting.
Millions of people lie the most important humans in their life, their partners.
I'm organizing a polyamory meet-up every month and the new people there often have the same kind of questions. They are in a monogamous relationship and want to "meet" other people (often, but not only, for sex) and want to know how they could get their partners to approve of this.
All they want a magical solution, but everything I can say is "talk to each other".
But most people treat their relationships as an entity that exists in its own realm.
They have their lifes and their relationships.
They don't talk to each other about what they really want, but plan marriage, kids and whatnot.
