If you signed an NDA that criminalizes reading public data (that is still classified) on the open web, perhaps it's not the fault of websites posting links to that data when you click on it.

Seriously, your clearance comes with tradeoffs. Some of us aligned against government secrecy and flunkies who sympathize with the surveillance state want the list of potential downsides for that career choice to be as long as possible.

If your shitty job will put you in jail for reading headline news, maybe you should reconsider your job.

You have another option: Boot Tails. Use Tor. Read away. Don't get caught. Don't let the thought police use the threat of jail to extinguish your intellectual curiosity.
