TBH, I really couldn't give a shit who's having an affair with who, even though that sucks for their respective partners.
I guess I'm more concerned about their idea of OpSec if they're dumb enough to conduct said affair at a place that has a jumbotron? idk

The CEO's statement about privacy, while heading an AI data company is pretty rich though.
