Social Security will Now Post News Updates on Elon's X
200M X (Twitter) user records leaked in a 34GB free-for-all—again.
Data enthusiast “ThinkingOne” released the files after allegedly failing to get a response from X. The breach combines:
・Data from a 2022 vulnerability X previously downplayed
・January 2025 breach data
・A total of 2.8 billion records spanning X user IDs, emails, bios, locations & more
X continues to deny its systems were the direct source of the leak. But researchers confirm much of the data is real—and the scale is unmatched.
The kicker? ThinkingOne believes this might’ve required internal access, or an attack of unprecedented sophistication.
Even without passwords, this treasure trove fuels phishing, impersonation, and targeted disinformation.
Marketing execs reveal big brands are allocating small portions of their ad budget to X, aiming to avoid the perception of boycotting Elon Musk’s platform.

Elon Musk’s Texas footprint could rapidly grow this year as he moves X’s headquarters and expands his SpaceX Starlink facility’s size in rural Central Texas.
The outcome will depend on whether the court finds that advertisers' actions constituted illegal collusion or if they were within their rights to protect their brand safety standards

X Is About To Be Blocked In Brazil (August 30, 2024) https://lifehacker.com/tech/x-blocked-in-brazil
"The Brazilian Supreme Court said on Wednesday that the company could not evade its orders so easily, threatening X with shutdown in the country if it did not appoint a new legal representative within 24 hours. This is not wholly unusual for the country, as legal representatives are required for companies to operate there."
"Brazilian outlet G1 Globo is reporting that the judge will impose daily fines on people or businesses that use VPNs to continue to access the site while it's blocked."
I don't care that much about the X ban - the reasoning is good enough. Requiring companies to have local legal representatives to operate is a fantastic idea. But fining people for each day they use a VPN to access X is way too far. At that point, you're not punishing Elon or the X platform, you're going out of your way to punish its users.
Also, the government shouldn't even be able to enforce that, technically or legally. The point of a VPN is that your ISP and government can't see which sites you're connecting to. Has the government planted fake VPNs that don't really hide anything? Are they going to serve warrants to all the bad VPNs (everyone but Proton and Mullvad) to make them hand over their logs? Have they already made a list of all Brazilian X users and are going to manually check who stays active? Worst of all, are they assuming anyone who just bought a VPN is using it to access X?
You should be worried by this. I know I am. Surveillance is getting more and more advanced, which allows for the prosecution of more and more harmless "crimes". Yesterday it was wearing a mask to protect your identity in NYC. Tomorrow it could be using a VPN at all. How long until all the ways dissenters can stay safe are illegal?
