- malandrew 6y agoConsidering that one piece of software that was used in the incident alluded to was called BleachBit, it's an appropriate use of words AFAICT.
- untog 6y agoDo people often refer to 'bleaching' when they use BleachBit? I've never heard it used.
- bigbubba 6y agoI don't think I've ever heard of that particular software in any other context so... hard to say?
- zests 6y agoAnother elected official used the term 'bleaching' or 'acid washing' or something. Don't quote me on this but I seem to recall a fact checking agency rating the statement as "false" because "bleach was not used, it was software called bleachbit". It was a culture war microcosm.
