    Fuck these guys. We had a good thing going relying on local, Aussie, European and American companies for our data, and then the Americans decide they can look at our student's private data whenever they want, wherever it is, for any reason, and I'm now having to advice the uni to treat the US like they're China and NK, which has made my job massively difficult.
