At least they cared. I found an enumeration attack on an Australian referral service where phone numbers were keys and it returned way too much personal information. Responsibly disclosed numerous times, LinkedIn contacted employees. Not even acknowledged and at last check, still open vulnerability.

If CNT (Carbon Nanotubes) are displaying similar risk factors to asbestos, what is the scale difference between these? I've never felt so compelled to eat something that could kill me.

Regarding "No one ever takes a photograph of something they want to forget" - I take photos of things all the time of things precisely so I can forget them - I take pictures of gates closed on farmland, electrical items switched off etc. I never look at these pictures again - but the simple act of taking the picture means I don't fret about them afterwards....
We take photos of our kids to track and timestamp anaphylaxis or other medical reasons. Incredibly important at the time, and then when dynamic wallpapers start mixing them in to the roster you desperately want to forget them.

Ensure you have adequate cleanup procedures too. I heard from ex-employees of a major car reselling platform that CSAM was distributed by creating a draft car ad, never publishing it and the CSAM was now hosted and accessible via direct image URLs. The records were orphaned, not sure how they got the tip-off.
Did it ever really matter?

Hoping to get an answer on this one myself.
"Design Twitter" is the only reason I haven't deleted my account yet. Yes, Twitter is full of toxicity and can easily become an echo chamber -- but if you actively set out to create one it can be a unique positive. Bear with me.
I follow a range of designers and front enders from the early Dribbble days and basically haven't added many people since. Yes it might be "polite" to follow back friends and colleagues who follow you, but it disrupts the balance. I don't even follow my own parents back because it introduces a bunch of off-topic content.
There's a name I haven't heard in a while!
DN was fun for a very brief moment. But really, it died so long ago I think someone flat out forgot to tell it.
But yes, I kind of agree with other commenters here in that maybe teaching absolute respect of a knife/table saw/power tool and its power to maim is a really important lesson that this sidesteps?
