That is an unnecessary hyperbole. Most apps to have terms of service and most of them include clauses around doxxing others.

No, an unnecessary hyperbole would be saying people should be outraged at any app that allows unverified communication.

Yes, that's correct.

The thing is, that's not what darth_avocado was talking about. The person that introduced that idea was... you. It's your hyperbole.

If you read the whole thread, the first comment I replied to, that user said exactly that thing.

No. You changed what they said into something stupider.

They said "allows people to doxx other people online and say unverified things about them"

You changed that to "allows unverified communication"

Not the same.
