This is a custom build for someone who wanted to have "the biggest pickup ever" for a few weeks before someone else on-ups them.

You think someone would just do that? Just go on the internet and lie?

Web sites and pages come and go, but the search engine indices are forever. The Internet Archive, for example, uses data from a search engine crawler to populate their archive of the internet (until Alexa was shut down by Amazon, they do their own crawling now). Google likely has a lot of old internet data in archives as well.

Wish I didn't think laws like that were a good idea, but after dealing with the ex-wife's psychotic episode and threats to kill our child I did some digging and discovered that maternal infanticide is terrifyingly not as rare, and that it's generally not counted as "murder" for statistics purpose (many countries have separate statutes which cover it).

Over the course of your life the people most likely to kill you are: yourself, your mother, your father, some step parent, some random person. Though if you make it to 5-6 years the parents stop being as big a threat.

Before capitalism there was feudalism and more basic market economies organized around market towns. Before you get to that level of density (i.e. purely agrarian or hunter gatherer societies) we generally see gift economies, which has been the default economic system for the majority of human history.

True, but if all the data was encrypted, then the drive formatted it would require physically dismantling an HDD in a clean room to recover data, for SSDs the wear leveling makes it hard to fully erase anything, but again, after encrypting and formatting the cost of the tools needed to get the data back are well above the potential benefit (i.e. there are easier ways to get people's personal info)
