The top-voted answer links to this HN page. I'm stuck in an infinite loop.
Nah, you're just in an unbounded recursion - don't worry, I can already now tell you that it ends with stack overflow.
This is what happens when you lay off all of your sysadmins because "the cloud", move that role to devops and then downsize that to a subduty of a developer.

Sounds like a good public service. I’d much rather have my data deleted until it’s secured than have it stolen by someone else.
Vandalism is not a good public service. > I’d much rather have my data deleted until it’s secured than have it stolen by someone else There are multiple logical fallacies in this sentence. First is the use of the world 'until' which is ambiguous here; it suggests that your data can be 'undeleted' after the DB has been secured or you would rather not have any data stored anywhere that is not secured. Either option to…

Ok, but losing "just some of your belongings" is bad also, right? When thinking about the culpability of the person deleting the data or storing the data, we have to start from the assumption that the owner of the data values it. Whatever analysis you want to put on the situation I don't think it is reasonable to start with the idea that some of the data might not be that valuable.
Either the data is something public (name, address, etc) in which case, whatever. Or it's data that was gathered (in line of business, for example) and its destruction is anywhere from more secure to an inconvenience. Or it's data that was aggregated beyond legitimate use (hey, FAANG) and by all means, tear it the hell up and throw it away.
