Ah yes, “protecting the children”. Meanwhile, some of the most paranoid IT data security I’ve seen was at a department of education.

You see, just statistically speaking, they have pedophiles on staff, staff with potential data access. They have ex husbands that want to abduct their kid after the messy divorce where the wife had to get a new identity, but good luck fleeing from your husband who has DB access at the DoE.

The real world is messy and filled with bad actors in positions of power and access to data that enables their abuse.

The less data there is, the less they can abuse it.

Almost like… guns. The less guns are out there… oh. Oh…

You guys in the States are screwed. I’m sorry for you all.




We keep a gun behind every blade of grass for a reason.
