neat, this analogy travels pretty far - user data is radioactive.

theres a background amount of radiation. its everywhere, even in higher amounts than youd expect like bananas and airplanes. no amount is safe, but the risks are neglibly small when exposure is minimized. concentrated amounts can be safe when exposure is controlled and managed with oversight programs in place. disasters can be managed with disaster programs, but its still possible that unforseen problems can cause big issues. unregulated handling can poison local populations. corporate influence on government can be a problrm.

what a comparison! there should be an award for this.
