Pretty sure Target learned this the hard way when they were hacked in 2013 thanks to a contractor who maintained their POS devices.
Then again, at this point, the "P" in "PII" stands for "Publicly."

It's already here. The left has been engaged in a low-level insurgency for years and now they've graduated to domestic terrorism.

Mean Tangerine cuts funding for two probationary employees and suddenly it's "we cured cancer but we can't share it because of funding."
I'd say it'll kill their credibility, but they don't have a whole lot left after deciding that after four months into a pandemic they went from "you want to kill grandma" to "this social cause is justification for large gatherings."

Enough jobs have left Seattle that the city's tax revenue is short $47 million. Apparently people *will* leave.

In my part of Virginia, speed really isn't the issue, but rather asshats who wait until they're ten feet from an exit before swerving across three lanes of traffic so they don't miss it.

It sounds like the argument is "rockets and internet are cool." Nothing I've read indicates any other substantial reason why we aren't seeing "swastirockets" and/or "swastidishes". Really makes it hard to take seriously, so I'll continue to treat Tesla vandalism as what it really is: domestic terrorism.

If it was installed on a device approved for classified use, then yes. All the reporting I've seen has been pretty breathless and not curious as to the backend security architecture which, to be fair, probably wouldn't be answered in a public forum. Hopefully Congress thinks to ask those questions. My assumption (having done this for flag officers) is that the officials get a phone cleared for TS with a preloaded/approved software package. It's centrally managed, so they can't add random apps.

No, it's neither against the rules nor the law. Secure mobile devices have been around for a rather long time, going back to at least Obama's Blackberry. The Biden Administration approved Signal for use and presumably it was installed on DISA-provided devices approved for classified use as opposed to their personal devices (no indication that personal devices were used here). No one yet knows how the journo was invited.

*shrug* Not yet, no, but it's only been a couple of weeks. Besides, if one side can throw around "nazi!" the other side can use it too.
In any case, they need to stop throwing tantrums like a yoddler whenever they don't get their way. Until then, it's not hard to see who the real Brownshirts are.

We spend more per pupil than anyone in the world except Norway and we come in at the equivalent of Mississippi in global education. It's fair to ask what we're getting for our money. It's bigger than just "DoEd" of course, but I bet if we get rid of all the regulation that forces districts to hire endless administrators and consultants (fueling opportunities for graft) and start actually sending money directly to the classrooms, we'd see an improvement.
