re: #105 Fozzie Bear

All of what you are saying makes sense, if you consider the United States a private company. It isn’t a private company.

No.
But it is an employer with proprietary information it feels a need to keep confidential, and as an employer, it expects a certain amount of loyalty from its employees, and it expects to be able to trust that its employees won’t go making private information public - like, selling social security numbers to criminals to make fake ID’s, etc.
