re: #164 Belafon

Tell me, how would you find all of the spies we’ve had over the decades. Can you look at them and tell?

Yes, you can make it harder and harder to steal data, but only by making it harder and harder to use the data. Which contradicts the reason for collecting it.

Exactly - this is always the trade-off between security and the need to access information. If the information is accessible, it can be stolen. That’s all there is to it. And the measures you take to protect it always involve making it more difficult to access.

The only perfectly protected information is info that no one can access.
