I don’t think so. If you get a 30 year sentence for transporting zines what stops you from just shooting anyone that comes after you? Multiple lifetimes in jail are irrelevant.
It is absolutely a crime to conceal evidence in an ongoing criminal trial. The contents of the publications is absolutely irrelevant: the individual was asked to conceal evidence and agreed to do it.
If the credentials are stored for some period of time, then an inspection will reveal those stored credentials within the preservation window. Unannounced inspections will then show with high certainty a legitimate validation process.
The auditor can act as a customer and validate whether phony credentials are rejected.
The leak came from a third party ID/age verification service for a regulated substance in a heavily regulated region. I think there's a good chance that they're under various regulatory/KYC type laws that would make holding onto user data mandatory. One practical scenario where this would come into play is if they were suspected of intentionally accepting fraudulent credentials, basically acting like a fake ID service for hire. In that case authorities would want to be able to see all data that they were basing acceptance on.
I hear you! If you see a post that ought to have been moderated but hasn't been, the likeliest explanation is that we didn't see it. We don't come close to seeing everything that gets posted here...not even close. You can always help by flagging it or emailing hn@ycombinator.com about egregious cases.
Not even needed many times, I was recently at an overseas airport that wanted you to scan your passport to log into the internet. Ya not happening. On another device I downloaded a "sample" passport image of a British passport, the first one on Google images, pointed the phone at the device screen. "This will never work" , he thought as he was immediately logged in.
All this stuff really hurts the people who follow the rules the most.

Yes.

Yes.

They really aren't when you are operating at ISP scale. Especially when there are 20+ years of evidence of said scoring systems being abused until they calcified into the mess that is modern email hosting
There have always been plenty of “9-5” programmers who will do the minimum to get by. Even just being on HN is somewhat of a bubble of people more interested in keeping up with tech than the average Joe building websites.
Everyone thinks their understanding about outdoor light is the obviously principled one yet people can't even come to agreement on how we should align the clocks to the natural amount of daylight in the winter or what time zone a region should use.
My argument is we should acknowledge and explore that reality instead of try to declare the problem trivial.
But that's the problem. The debris disperse whatever heavy metals and compounds into the atmosphere. Removing the debris and taking it somewhere, even just landing them protected in a heat shield, could reduce those vaporizing particles, if those are going to be a problem.
This was a coordinated group of people who procured body armor, radios, and firearms, and planned to break into a Federal facility. Responsibility for this incident doesn't rest exclusively on the hands of the shooter.
An analogy is Enrique Tarrio's arrest in the wake of January 6th. Rightoids bleated about wasn't even in the capital during the riot. But of course that's not evidence his innocence. Even though he didn't personally participate in the putsch, he was still held responsible for organizing it (of course not for long, on account of his pardon, but he was still rightfully convicted).
This is extrapolating from a single example of something that has worked and the conflating correlation with causation.
There are plenty of places with highly educated cheap workforces who work hard. Eastern European culture is almost identical down to the whole "tiger mom" stereotype.
The US is full of the "military-style 24/7 on-call readiness and brutal shift work" - at the high end silicon valley is built on this, and at the low end every single non-unionized factory is this.
TSMC has never built a fab outside Taiwan. Of course there will be problems.
