    That’s re-victimization. People do people stuff, like using social networks.

    Giving one’s real name and real information to a social network who is intending to track everything one does or says and the people one does or says it with is idiocy and it has never not been.

    People do people stuff like not listening to people who have constantly been telling them not to push the button.

    People stuff also includes continuing to use these horror networks for years after knowing full well they shouldn’t.
