People were OK with giving away their infos to Resetera LLC. It was in good faith. It would stay in the community.
People are not ok with their infos now being resold to a big data broker tho

this is why some people are angery. They feel betrayed, in a way.
In simple resetera users terms:
The users were renting an appartement in a small friendly coop building for years, but as it turns out, one guy slowly bought out the entire block without you knowing and resold to a mystery landlord corp and btw all the security footage from the cameras around the building meant to protect you from hate groups and criminal elements?
Yeah well that shit was sold too, to that mystery company, and nobody knows what they will do with years of footage and super detailled security logs.
The building’s maintenance crew members, who also live in the same building with you, knew about this for a while and are cracking jokes when tentants are asking questions about what’s gonna happen to their community.
Also the ownership change notice was printed on a sheet of paper in the storage area. People cant discuss about it outside of that damn basement, and the maintenance crew all invited their buddies to scream inane shit over people trying to find out what the fuck is going on and the janitors also announced that free pizza will be distributed so now the damn basement is crowded as hell and nobody can talk about serious stuff about the community.
Maybe the maintenance crew doesn’t care about users but those users built themselves spots to hang out with other like minded users and that’s why people are so concerned. Years of discussions, friendships and whatnot are in jeopardy. People are worried :/
Meanwhile the maintenance crew are making scenes about how nobody respects them and making it all about themselves in the basement.
