Looks like you’re the type the writer talks about at the end:
What risks, exactly? Twitter goes down? Proprietary Twitter data gets stolen in some server heist scenario?
Millions of people's personal data gets leaked, Musk's cowboy "pry open the floor and electrical panels with a knife" electrocutes him, or blows the power for the room/floor/building or starts a fire.
Isn’t all of it encrypted though? Like I understand physical access to servers is generally bad, but you’d think once the the things are unplugged it would be difficult to access the data again without bypassing encryption. I’m clearly not a software engineer though lol
