> can social media kill you though?

Yeah, it can and it did. Not only did the Ashley Madison leak led to a few deaths, check out what happens in countries where homosexuality is punished by death when private information goes public...

The States killed those people not Ashley-Madison.
It can be both. Responsibility is not a conserved quantity. Entities who take on private data should be considering the effects of that data becoming released, including what others may use it for.
