For my blog and newsletter, I wrote about why there have been so many data breaches and security lapses this year *alone* involving the mass-exposure of people's driver's licenses and passports — including new details about an exposure of 223,000 government-issued IDs as recently as this week.

For advocates of the #OnlineSafetyAct, having other people’s passports, driving licences or other government issued IDs leaked is collateral damage they can tolerate.
Presumably they’ll be quite cheesed off when it happens to them. (I am hoping they’re smart and just use a VPN instead.)
This is entirely predictable and also incredibly stupid.
I just hope they come to their senses and never implement it 🙏
