That is definitely one way of looking at it.
Here’s another possibility:
People have been instilled with an overabundance of FEAR that there are several requests to get rid of their accounts, and other innocent posters who have taken extended vacations.
Rambam teaches “shvil hazahav” and go in the middle, without extremes. People should be CAUTIOUS but not live in fear. According to the extremism, many threads by students requesting information on seminaries in E”Y should be banned, as now we know genders and approximate age.
Things happen, that’s true. But people still take the subway, still travel by airplane, etc.
And LEIBY a”h had Nothing to do with the internet. I AM a Kletzky. I’ve been affected by this summer in a very personal way and am still reeling from the loss. As well as other losses. (Btw, his great-grandfather whom he was named after used to say quite often that the only regret he has from surviving the war was that he was unable to die al kiddush Hashem…)
And I still believe that one should be cautious but not paranoid.
The hypervigilance is not healthy for anyone.
You may just wish to admit to yourself that you made a BIG mistake with your facebook account, surprisingly enough since you claim to be in security. We all make mistakes.
Now everyone here is suspect. Even you.
