“I’m sorry you got doxxed and those embarrassing selfies got out honey, but we were much more worried that you might’ve been smoking weed.”

Seems more like by design. The real purpose of the company was to gather data and sell it on the sly.
Or, just as llikely, I’m sorry you got doxxed and those embarrassing selfies got out honey, but we were just so worried that you might be taking embarrassing selfies that we thought would ruin your life if they got out.
