Shouldn't be an issue with Homeland Security on the Job. I'm sure they are doing accreditations and ensuring they remain up to date.

How US Dept of Justice's cure for Google could inflict collateral damage

Fixer Upper

To fix the Commons, you need flavors of AD Blockers that monetize perceptions of privacy. Think of it as a septic treatment plant. How clean do you need your data in and out to be ?

Demonitizing the value of your data is not going to happen. Filtering however is market opportunity. What is the value of your perception?
