Oy. Data this sensitive and useful should not require an active deletion request, especially from brand-new parents. It should be automatically deleted after a certain amount of time since it involves the protection of entire families, even those not directly involved with the newborn.
I was more or less agreeing with you before, but why do you get to decide what I’m mad about? Sorry, but I’m going to continue voicing my opinion.
I'm saying that you had "no idea" about something that's been around for a long time. Maybe you should look into the details (pro and con) before becoming enraged. People in CA have known about this and they're not that upset, just asking for more transparency.
