If Elon Musk or Twitter are reading this, those who already face the possibility of GDPR fines due to the exposure of the personal information of over 54 million users. There will now be fines for the 400 million user data leak, the post stated.
“Buying this data exclusively is your best option to avoid paying $2.76 million in CDPR breach fines like Facebook did (due to 533 million users being scrapped),” it continued.
