Internet data pilfering and misuse, an expectation of fail.
After we finally eliminate prostitution, we can make this go away as well.
On the other hand, it does seem to be recession proof and always in demand.
We'd just like it NOT to be a primary flaw of our major companies.
"The biz is also offering to cover a year of identity-theft monitoring service."

The body doesn't work from one member and neither should the next tier of AI
