A governor of a state sent the police to harass to a journalist who exposed embarrassing information. I'm not sure how that's not "pile-on" worthy. You don't need any technical knowledge to understand why this is a problem.

What techies understand is how when a website publishes something in a webpage, it's their fault for doing so, and that obfuscating it requiring extra steps to "decode" is not protection, and bypassing obfuscation is not a crime.
You untechies may be confused about this, but it's a principle techies have understood since the 1880s ("Kerckhoff's Principle"). This is not a typo. I didn't mean we've known since the 1980s, I mean it's a principle of the 1880s.
You techies do this handwaving nonsense that you thinks protects information that we laugh at for being obviously moronic. You then get mad at us for being "hackers" for bypassing it instead of addressing your own stupid problems.
