Why are you under such tremendous pressure? It is this a desperate move of a company finally going out of business or a result of an extreme pressure from the vc side?

Who has accessed the data already? Not only directly but indirectly as well? Have you received any compensation or settled any transactions by exposing the data?

We're under a lot of pressure because of the COVID crisis. We did have layoffs, but we're not in immediate danger of going out of business. The pubic profiles were set to go live next week, but this is now not happening. No data has been accessed externally.

They didn’t expose any data. The feature wasn’t live yet.

"The new profiles will be launching publicly in 1 week" It means a preview was already available in a limited way.

No it doesn’t. It means they finished a feature and were making it live in a week. Nowhere in that statement implies that there’s a limited beta.

Nowhere it implies there isn't.

You’re moving the goal posts and asking me to prove a negative. Absent any evidence that there was a limited beta, we can’t assume there was one.
