...teaching people not to be prejudiced?
It's a better solution.
(You could've replaced "data security" with "lawless minority" a few decades ago, and made the same--repugnant--point.)
- gress 12y agoI am not making a 'repugnant point'. I am in complete agreement that it would be better to fix social problems like prejudice and bigotry. The point I am making is that we don't know how to fix those problems quickly. In the meantime people are being hurt by the consequences and you are asking us not to protect those people. I think if anything qualifies as a repugnant point, that does. And no, you can't meaningfully put 'data security' in quotes and compare it to 'lawless minority' and act as though it is some kind of totalitarian repression. We are talking about stopping people's medical records from being hacked so easily. That is a practical and reasonable problem to fix.
