When a data leak does inevitably happen (which will include photos and details of minors btw) it'll be a huge scandal that will cause them major political damage.
It just defies all logic.

Why don't they provide an API to MyGov account authentication that returns a bool like: E.g. "This app requires access to: A flag saying if you're over 16, that's it"
Instead, they're telling massive corporations to store our data and they "promise" and it definitely won't leak it all.

The dems were not responsible for the suffering of the shutdown. But they are now responsible for making that suffering count for NOTHING.

I watched a bit of American TV live today, with ads and so on. I was surprised how it was almost entirely ads for drugs telling you to take random stuff. They don't allow that advertising where I live, so it was a bit of culture shock.
