A comment on I bought used voting machines on eBay for $100 apiece (2018). Parent comment
Do you really feel like banking and medical records are being kept secure? If so I envy your confidence.
Compare that to the way our messages are being encrypted these days (iMessage comes to mind) and i think we’d find the regulation to be lacking.
The incentive provided by regulations (I.e. jail time or fines) doesn’t compare to incentives derived from competition, or (heaven forbid) profit.
It’s, for better or for worse, human nature.
