There was a time when unions ruled the day, as reported in this anecdotal, bias-confirming evidence provided by log-time/. member, CaptainDork ( 3678879 ):
I was working at Texaco ca. mid '80s when I saw my brother-in-law (BIL) walking out the plant, leading a crowd that was expanding quite rapidly as he approached.
I asked him WTF and he said a supervisor asked him to climb up the side of a tower on a rusted ladder.
BIL asked for a safety inspector to OK the ladder.
The super refused, and BIL pointed to the ladder and said, "Well, you go first."
The super said, "Go up or give me your badge."
BIL threw his badge at the super.
Other union workers began pelting the super with their badges.
Union steward shows up, listens to both sides and calls a wildcat.
In 15 minutes, after tossing my badge on the ground, I'm home drinking a beer watching it all on TV.

Those days are long over. The unions are busted now.
They are trying to make a comeback, as in pendulum swing.
Dropbox would be the best choice according to this anecdotal evidence provided by long-time/. reader, CaptainDork ( 3678879 ):
I was working on a manager's (boss's son) machine because he had lost a photo for a legal matter.
I searched for *.jpg on his hard drive and came up with lots of photos, including a Dropbox folder with iPhone pictures and videos of him and his wife doing the, you know, uh, you know...... fuck it we're all adults here so, I'll come right out and say they were "doing it," if you get my drift.
So, I followed the Technology Administration Policy (authored by me) and just put both hands in the air and told his paralegal to get me someone from HR.
When the suit got there, I told her, pointing to the computer, "This is in your wheelhouse. Let me know when you're through so I can find a lost photo."
That manager didn't know that by installing Dropbox on his work computer (in violation of my policy), he was synchronizing all his personal shit into a local folder.
Come to find out, there were photos and videos of him and his girlfriend, too.
The fucking "press," died a few years ago. Journalists have all but disappeared.
"Reporters," are actually actors who go from the makeup chair to the anchor desk on visual media to read the teleprompter.
MSM is tapping into external content like YouTube as filler. I tell my wife, while watching David Muir talking up a cute kid tublet, "That video snippet was viral two days ago in the intertoobs.
"News," has been monetized and is actually, "entertainment."
Know who's fault all that shit is?
Surprisingly, it's you and me.
We are served that which which attracts our eyeballs.
We don't want no fucking real news.
We want sensational stories and we enjoy criticizing ourselves for our goddam tastes in "news."
I'm retired IT, and many times when I was assisting on another site, I saw backup tapes and EHD, some old, laying around in plain site, some in drawers where tools and connectors were stored, so yeah.

I'm in oil patch country, as were my ancestors.
It's clear you're not from around here.

Reread the trigger here:
Set a password, make sure it is kept by important people , and forget about it.
You're saying the issue is:
- HR problem
- Legal problem
- Not tech problem
- IT's job
- Falls to management
You can appreciate why I did not feel informed.
Please try again.

Sounds like this person was "important enough."
Manning was "important enough," right?
Snowden was "important enough," amirite?
I think it would be easy.
Manning went in with a Lady Gaga CD, erased the contents, copied shit on there and walked out. He had elevated privileges above his actual need.
Snowden got his hands on shit and went to Russia.
The gubmint is clueless and sloppy as fuck.
Probably not much.
People who are interested in fact-checked news from sources that have actual journos know where to go.
Those who prefer to live in the warm, comfortable, bubble of confirmation bias are not going to go there.

We don't have any enemies. The last list of enemies was World War II.
Hillary had more baggage than a goddam airport.
She was Obama 2.0 (so, I'm agreeing with you).
The real risk-takers now are the Republicans and the Trump private portfolios.
2018 should be interesting.
I am making no predictions.
I totally blew up my political credibility this election cycle.
I'm with you on this, and I agree with a post near mine that points out that Clinton is no Elizabeth Warren.
However, I think Trump will be great medicine for America.
Let's swing that goddam needle all the way to the right and get it out of our collective systems.
I'm 71 years old, and a political junkie. This is all amazing.
Things are getting wild at the speed of dark.
Popcorn stock is up.

Thanks, Roger.
You're a peach.
That's one.
I glomp protected photos and videos that way.
... social media.
Don't have a Facebook account?
Get one, then we'll talk.

"Thanks, dude." ~ Zuckyberg
That's only valid because you know about Manson because he's been vetted via due process.
Please give us your password to the social media site called /.
This.
I have a valid Facebook account wherein I share photographs out and read other people's bullshit, mostly cat videos, and keep up with family.
It's totally fucking boring and would only verify whatever I already entered into a form (name, address, telephone number, and stuff).
I have 17 other accounts for 17 different, random, reasons.
That should only be the "Public by requirement," Profile and Cover photos.
You can see my Profile and Cover photos, then you're through.
I set it that way.
However, the
Or even ask to befriend him temporarily ...
suggestion would work.
But there's a catch:
The intruding Facebook account had better be a clean one and Facebook TOS allows for only one account to a real person.
No.
It's an agreement, and binding only between the issuing entity and the willing participant.
If I give my password to someone else and Facebook finds about it, all they can do is block access.
Facebook is free, offers no warranties, guarantees, and provides for indemnification.

No.
That's not how it works.
It's OK that you're not an historian.

This.
Also, I started up my Tor browser, hit one of my 17 Facebook accounts, and it immediately shut me down.
I had to approach that account from a familiar route and show false ID.

I recommend pseudonymous accounts populated with some cat videos.
