I agree, and I'm not saying otherwise. What I'm saying is that I understand where the C&D letter is coming from because broadcasting said publicly available data poses a security risk. It's like when famous people are holding a panel at a convention or something. I remember Markiplier and his friends talking about how when they'd go to a convention, security wouldn't let them walk around the floor because it posed a security risk to them, and to other people due to the crowds they'd draw. It's not about some billionaire's hurt feelings; it's about the crowds of people that might swarm an area if they think they'll see Taylor Swift there or the dude with a brain smaller than the hemis in his lifted pickup who might see it on Twitter and decide that he's had enough of her woke football agenda.

I'm not supporting the cease and desist, but I get that the kid was adding additional risks that her security detail does not want to deal with. Not that the kid was doing it with malicious intent anyways, because you can get in actual trouble for that rather than just being sent the legal equivalent of "please stop doing that."

I'm sure everybody remembers the story that the Republicans used to rant about of the cake shop that got in trouble for refusing to make a wedding cake for a lesbian couple. But what they conviently leave out is that the shop actually got in trouble for what they did afterward: giving the couple's info to a Christian hate group who threatened them so badly that they had to leave the state for their own safety. All because they were getting married so that they could adopt the kids of a friend who had died to keep them from going into foster care. The couple's info was publicly available, but the shop got in trouble because they gave it out with the intent of causing them harm. That's the kind of thing the security detail is thinking about when they do stuff like this.
