Discord admin gets 15 years for “one of the most significant leaks” in US history
Former airman’s arrest raised questions about who gets access to confidential docs.
You're viewing a single thread.
Publish absolutely every government document. There should be no such thing as a secret government document ever. If you don't want it known, don't collect it. Don't generate it.
Yep, everyone should know nuclear codes, inside agents in terrorist cells, where to strike to kill as many and do as much damage as possible, how to manufacture weapons and IEDs...
Should i continue? Are you fucking stupid?
Personally I dont want the government documents with my home address and phone number and tax id and voting history to be leaked, tyvm
While I disagree with OP, that kind of information isn't classified. It's personally identifiable information which is restricted and secured, but it's not classified in the same sense as the person who leaked on discord.
In response to op, there are plenty of legitimate reasons to classify information that are not nefarious. For example, a diagram explaining the security systems for a building. It's better to restrict access to that document so it is less likely for an adversary to see the details, because all that would really do is enable them to identify weaknesses which they could exploit. Generally this sort of thing is called operational security and I think it is actually the basis for the US government's mandatory access control in the first place (e.g. "loose lips sink ships").
Oh the FBI definitely has a lot of PII on folks that's classified. What do you think they do??
Why would the government know your voting history? Isn't voting anonymous where you live?
No idea what a tax id is but in Sweden everyone's home address, income, phone number, "personnummer" (a unique ID assigned to every citizen), and some other stuff. And for the most part it works pretty well. I'm usually concerned about privacy but I don't mind this because it applies to everyone equally (except a few people with protected identity for safety reasons) and it's just so open and convenient.
I'm not saying that all government documents should be public information but here most documents are.
Which is why that data should not be collected.
Wut. So the IRS says I didn't pay my taxes. I say I already did, but they dont have records showing I did, so they insist I pay again?
You're not thinking.
Taxation is theft and the irs along with all world governments need to be desolved
Wow, you're really going at it on the whole "not thinking" thing. 10/10.
how does your username not have an instance after it?
Because they are on the same instance as you :)
but I see some with the instance after that are on the same instance???
I like having clean drinking water
The production details for nuclear weapons are on a government document.
And if all records had to be public, there would have been a hell of a lot lower chance of nuclear weapons being invented. Because who would want to give that weapon to everybody else as well as themselves?
But do you want that document published now in the world we live in today?
Yes, I think so. I think absolutely everybody capable of having one, having one, should cause nobody to want to invade anybody else, etc. Because of the threat that such an action poses, and if humanity is dumb enough to wipe themselves out with nuclear weapons, then we weren't meant to be around anyway.
And? For the average country, the difficult thing about nuclear weapons is not how to build one (pipe with two halves and a bit explosives is enough for a few kt) but to get enough Plutonium. You know, the whole thing with Israel running secret facilities with ceramic centrifuges for years. What US and China are wasting a few MW computer center each year on, is getting a bit more out of it than the competition, especially fusion weapons. Seen rationally, it's a childish "i have the bigger
dickboom".
