Hope this isn't a repeated submission. Funny how they're trying to deflect blame after they tried to change the EULA post breach.

Hi! If you've used it, there's something I was curious about - how many people's names did it show you?

If 50%+ of the 14000 had the feature enabled, it was showing an average of 500-1000 "relatives". Was that what you saw? What degree of relatedness did they have?

I don't think that opting in changes a company's responsibility to not launch a massive, inevitable data security risk, but tbh I'm less interested in discussing who's to blame than I am in hearing more about your experience using the feature. Thanks in advance!
