A 23-year-old former SpaceX intern, Luke Farritor, was granted access to the U.S. Energy Department’s IT system—despite lacking the required security clearance and background check, according to CNN. The decision, approved by Trump loyalist Energy Secretary Chris Wright, was made over strong objections from cybersecurity officials, raising major concerns about government security protocols. According to
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.
At 23, men’s frontal lobes aren’t even fully developed. You’re substantially wrong.
That 23 year old can easily be compromised. I know this because he was, by musk.
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.
My grandma could snap that mfer in half and she’s been dead for years.
Brain development.
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.
His age and his lack of clearance are entirely separate matters, one is worthy of criticism and the other isn’t.
What about experience? Can a 23 year old have the experience to understand the gravity of what he is dealing with?
A 23 year old is an adult, can drive, have children and kill people in war.
Stop infantilising the person. You should criticise them based on their actual actions.
"Although the brain stops growing in size by early adolescence, the teen years are all about fine-tuning how the brain works. The brain finishes developing and maturing in the mid-to-late 20s. The part of the brain behind the forehead, called the prefrontal cortex, is one of the last parts to mature. "

“ageism”
What are you, 14?
I’m almost old enough to be his father, and also old enough to recognise that you’re a fucking muppet
Oh god! Not the Muppet!
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.
