I have just read the update. I think it's terribly sad that people have taken their lives over this, and honestly my thoughts are with the families who have just suffered a huge betrayal and have now suffered a loss. It's terrible. But what I can't stand is that people are saying that it's the fault of the hackers. No. These suicides are the result of allegedly, people betraying their families/Significant Others, seeking the affair website out and then choosing to take their lives once their deeds had been discovered.
I hate everyone involved in this. It's all disgusting.
And there's also the matter of residency - an untold number of people on that list live in countries where cheating is punishable by death. Some live in countries where the woman is put to death if a man cheats on her. Some live in countries where homosexuality is punishable by death, and there's already one case of a man in Saudi Arabia used Ashley Madison to hook up with a gay guy in the US because he couldn't do that in his own country. What's going to happen to him now?
since AM is a canada/north american based website, I wasn't even considering this, but this is a good point especially considering a case has happened (I'm not going to ask for a source, I believe you)
honestly I hate cheating with a burning passion, so when I first read about the hack I had nothing but a bittersweet smile on my face that all the fuckers out there would get what's coming to them, but after hearing a few scenarios like this, I do feel bad for those who've been killed or lost their lives due to it.
Cheating is repugnant, but people don't deserve to lose their lives over this. Every death related to this leak is on the hackers' hands, plain and simple.
