    This is the guy writting back door access into computer systems in the government? This can only end badly. One day when America’s enemy get aggressive enough they will exploit this weakness in our system he put in. It be 100% this guy’s fault when that happens.

      You tell me a 23 years old can be compromised ! Who would have thought !

      Heavy threats or promised large sum of money won’t be used against such a strong willfull man right ?

        Ageism right here. There is nothing preventing a 23 year old from holding a security clearance and being as trustworthy as a 50 year old.

            So criticise him for being a boot licking clown employed by the Swasticar king.

            Age is not a valid criticism here.

              Every person is different. But on average, younger people are easier to trick. As are the elderly. The former lacks experience. The latter loses faculties.

              It’s ageist to pre judge a person based on age. It’s not ageist to understand the progression of the human mind.

              You wouldn’t say it’s ageist that babies are easy to trick, would you?

                There it is again, infantilizing an adult.

                There’s no evidence this guy has been tricked. There’s a lot of evidence he’s a piece of shit.

          So you dont mind a inexperienced 23 years old running the energy dept. You know the one whom handles fissile materials etc…

          And don’t forget he has no security clearance, was not vetted.

          If you think any 23 year old should be allowed to create backdoors into the systems that control nukes then you are probably too young to properly judge this situation.

            Criticising the installation of back doors is valid, trying to paint me as not old enough is hilarious and more ageism.

            Not only am I old enough, I happen to be a cyber security expert, capable of understanding that a Government department has more than one system, and backdoors to one system does not magically grant access to nukes.

              It’s just funny you crying agism and defending this guy for literally any reason

              We both know why you’re here

              I just don’t defend fascists because I know it leads to nothing good

                He’s not defending anyone though, as I understand it he’s just saying that there are valid reasons for criticising this, but age isn’t among them

                  That’s how people defend shitty people they agree with but are too embarrassed to agree with publicly.

                  The term is sympathizer.
