    I was going to say why is this news now? This was a big thing at the end of 2023. Like they even mentioend it in the article.

    The practice first came to light in 2023 when Senator Ron Wyden sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice

      Data breaches should always be news, even if it is unsurprising to you personally. There’s literally always going to be someone out there who doesn’t have the same information that you do.

      Edit: yes, I do think it ought to be considered a data breach when data is shared with additional parties, even (or maybe especially) when that party is the government.

        There’s literally always going to be someone out there who doesn’t have the same information that you do.

        And there’s going to be people who have information I don’t. That doesn’t mean they should run the same article over and over.

          I say, keep talking about it until it gets fixed. Reporting it once in 2023 and then never again just enables sweeping things under the rug.
