What fallacy did I present?

(There is no indication that she used the password on government accounts.)

Why do we care then?

MOST PEOPLE re-use passwords for everything. Most people use the most-used passwords in every data breach as their passwords. Stuff like this shouldn't surprise anyone. Most members of government likely don't even know what 2FA is, and likely use Password123 as their password. They're not known for being tech wiz's.

Absolutely. I'm not the one saying that the law isn't always right - I'm saying the law is what determines what is legal/illegal.

Say it with me: randomly generated username.

Also someone being for freedom doesn't mean they don't believe in the rule of law.

Nope. Compliance check lists matter when you are audited by external companies for things like PCI. It's also not a lot of effort, nor is it ineffective, nor is making sure software is up to date ignored.

If a company on enterprise plans has non-IT technical people doing their technical policies then nothing will save them.

Unless your retirement fund was actively selling shares when the prices went down, which would have been a stupid thing to do, when the market rebounded the retirement funds value rebounded.

That's not how the stock market works lol. When any people who shorted the market gain money, they are doing so because the retirement funds increased after they bought shares.

As I said in another comment:

Also most people don’t sit there in meetings with their finger on the screenshot key ready to go - but it is simple to just press a screenshot key on your keyboard. It’s a little bit harder to have your phone up and with the camera open the entire time ready to take photos, especially if cameras are on - especially if something just pops up briefly on screen and you realise you want to capture it.

This is only going to keep honest people honest.

It's going to keep the overwhelming amount of people "honest", and it's going to give companies an extra tick box on any security audits that are integral to the company doing business.

If Trump manages to get a better trade deal for the USA with China out of this, Reddit and Lemmy and all the mainstream media are going to absolutely implode.

The conclusion in the report was that "Government intervention would be premature at this time" - the reports words, not mine.

I can't really see why she would have been fired for that report. The quoted copyright law expert also disagrees that she was fired over it:

Copyright law expert Meredith Rose questioned the link, calling the report “113 pages of ‘well, it depends!’” and adding that “people who find that offensive enough to call for her ouster would have to be utter lunatics—on EITHER side of this fight.”

They’re gonna steal everything

How much have they taken from your family’s retirement funds in the last 4 months?

Do you think that the amount that the stock market drops somehow goes to the governments bank accounts or something?
