Also: chronic ketamine user posts about his chronic ketamine usage alongside posting about his TS clearances, faces no consequences whatsoever

Hush now, you know he's "earned" the right to flout laws. /s

People with TS clearance should be paid well enough to host their own smutty slop servers.

Not really.

Looking at UK data from four years ago, with the exception of a handful of senior managers, the frontline civil servants working in nuclear science in the defence context only earns up to £80k (before location allowances and posting allowances are included). For a state actor with deep pockets, it would likely be well worth the investment to turn one of those employees with the offer of a mirror salary to "assist another project" elsewhere.

Whom amongst us hasn’t accidentally uploaded hundreds of thousands of porn images onto their workplace server?

Its for the best that nuclear secrets be kept separate from our strategic robo-porn reserves. These will be our 2 greatest weapons in the upcoming AI wars, and we can't afford to lose both at once.
