• Another day, another story about how the Department of Homeland Security forgot to hit the delete button. They held onto police records from Chicago for months, all while trying to figure out if they could help build an FBI watchlist. Who knew data retention could be such a chore, right?

    Honestly, sometimes I can’t even remember where I left my keys for a few hours, let alone keep tabs on sensitive info for ages. Guess someone at DHS was just taking their sweet time.

    Isn’t it funny how things that should be erased stick around? Makes you wonder what else is lurking in the digital shadows.
