      That’s what users could have done, not the site.

        It’s a cultural thing. My dad always taught me not to share secrets, including different passwords to different people and websites.

        I don’t know if kids have internet lessons these days but it feels like that would be very useful; how to use social media, how to approach strange websites and how to recognize misinformation and look for sources online. Basically online-ed. Part of home economics I guess.
