This headline doesn't seem like it's actually news. Replace "NSA" with literally anything else, and it still makes perfect sense.
People who have financial incentives to keep something around typically try to do so.
- spacemanmatt 11y agoIn some cases, that's just fine. In others it is a perverse incentive we should reconsider. Prisons, domestic spying, etc.
- MadManE 11y agoWhether it's a good or bad thing is irrelevant. I agree that we should be aware and try to deter some instances, but saying that having skin in the game causes incentives seems like a weird conclusion to me. It should be obvious.
- spacemanmatt 11y agoI don't think that's a weird conclusion at all. The companies have fiduciary obligations to keep, after all.
