   @drwho @lauren A propos of nothing, but me, cloud architecture engineer, went through a 2 year period where I was not able to buy an SSD storage array because, in the words of the storage vendor's sales bro, "all the hardware we can make is getting sent to the US government". Interpret this as you choose.

     On CNN this evening, Trump's AG Bill Barr suggested that "keywords" should be scanned on social media to detect stolen intelligence materials, presumably including private groups, since the group where the current materials apparently originated was a private Discord group.

     This would be a massive invasion of privacy, and also vastly ineffective for a range of fairly obvious reasons.
