    Maybe he means it’s like closing the barn door after the horses have bolted. The government already put all the personal data they have on most people into the cloud years ago.

        You could ask him, bit it sounds to me like he’s not happy about how long it took them to get to this point. He’s right that the government caused generational harm to its citizenry with their oblivious decision making. The best time to set this up was before moving our information into public space. That doesn’t mean the next best time isn’t immediately.
