That's just silly. The headline, the subject matter and the fact that it's on a company domain all add up to plenty of information. The fact that it appears to have been prematurely posted adds more interest.

It's speculation with no information at all. This isn't HN Rumors, and that link doesn't even go to a tweet - it goes to a page full of no information.

Again, it is a very clear message that impacts millions of people and is hosted on a page belonging to the company. There may not be as much information as you'd like, but there's nothing speculative about it.

It's an unclear message that impacts nobody until it is confirmed. Don't fearmonger.

Edit: they've removed your temporary page now: "The message you are trying to access is not available."

They've posted it to their corporate site:

Yeah, and now it becomes news.
