    How was if swept under the rug? The WaPo ran dozens of stories for months on end and even wrote followup stories about it earlier this year. Sorry, but you're full of shit.

    Just from searching the WaPo archives I found more than 4 or 5 dozen stories about the OPM breach going on for months after it was fully disclosed. So, again, you have some weird idea of what "sweep under the rug" means.

    That happened under Obama so the media basically swept it under the rug.

    It was reported on every major news outlet when it happened. So that's a strange notion of "sweeping under the rug" you've got there.

    And yet I'm still completely right. What motivation does either of those politicians have to get privacy legislation up for a vote? Especially when both have been actively hostile to the very notion of consumer privacy rights. And before you claim a both sides nonsense, when the FCC passed data privacy rules in 2016 that were later overturned by Congress not a single Democrat in the Senate or House voted for the repeal. In the Senate not a single Republican voted against the repeal and in the House only 15 Republicans of 236 voted against the repeal. So sorry, I'm not missing anything.

    Why would they bother? Neither Ryan's nor McConnell's data was leaked so why would they care?

    Maybe Microsoft doesn't even know or research where the main repository is.

    Except their Github page explicitly said it was a mirror and gave a link back to the main repository. So unless you're going to claim that no one at Microsoft is literate then you're getting even more stupid with your conspiracy.

    What use is attacking a mirror, then? The main repository was self-hosted by Gentoo and unaffected. Maybe that tinfoil is on a little to snuggly and starving your brain for oxygen?
