Neighbourly users' private information up for sale on dark web after a breach

<<Neighbourly has told its members it will look to seek a court injunction against the use of any of the material, but said it was satisfied the breach was quickly contained.>>

These guys are crooks how does Neighbourly expect them to obey a court injunction?

Stuff's Neighbourly site has suffered a data breach. There're no details of the scale or damage yet but the site has been taken down.

Among existing tech that could be used for a hyperlocal social service, maybe something like Hometown?

Or maybe Bonfire Community, or a @bonfire flavour specifically for the purpose?

Enshittification is a thing. But it would have been harder to pull Neighbourly down that road if it had been a piece of Free Code software. Hosted locally by groups using it, or maybe on a city/ district scale by co-ops of local groups within that area. Ideally federated, so people can move their account when they change neighbourhoods, etc.

@rabble also talks about Front Porch Forum;

"...a free community-building service in Vermont and parts of New York. Your neighborhood's forum is only open to the people who live there. It's all about helping neighbors connect.

He says it circulates posts within a small local area, moderating them before delivery, and delivering approved posts 24 hours after they're sent. This is brilliant!

It's like #Neighbourly but run by a not-for-profit.

Recent post on #Neighbourly: "It's #NZ #Music Month and #singer-songwriter #Lorde is impressing the world again with a new single called 'What Was That' which is at number one in the #US #Spotify charts and second in the New Zealand charts."

Let's remember that Sinead Boucher is the sole owner of most of the daily newspapers in Aotearoa. She has the final say on who their editors are. Her company owns #Stuff.co.nz the digital platform that gives them a homepage on the web, as well as #Neighbourly.

That's a lot of influence for one who thinks being against public spending is *not* an ideological position;
