It is a trash can of a platform anyway
I mean, don’t put information on the Internet that you don’t want anyone knowing (unless it’s your bank)
Cats don’t have accounts.

caution and suspicion is justified sure but making unfounded accusations is misleading and nihilistic, source pls
Wait, I use Adguard’s DNS. Can you give us more details about your allegations?
Any source on the claims?
So the cat made the account huh?
