Gregory's ServerI hate Elf on the Shelf. I think it teaches children that it's OK to live under constant surveillance. Why not come up with a more benign explanation, such as that Santa is just one of many parties buying behavioral information from an online data broker?

 @lcamtuf santa actually has exclusive access to several unique classes of data due to a clause he forced the brokers to accept. he’s a monopoly at this point but too much policy has been written around him to stop him. he’s too big to fail.  @bluelinden@hachyderm.io @lcamtuf@infosec.exchange Ah yes... you of course speak of the so-called "Santa clause" @dan Yeah, rules-as-written, the Elf is a fascist. He plays a different role at our house - a bringer of snacks, a player of tricks, and eventual confidant. :)   "Dad, why does Santa only deliver presents on Christmas Eve?" "It's because he spends the rest of the year in prison for breaking and entering." |
@lcamtuf "Santa does it the same way the CIA does!"
