    technically this one wasn’t actually classified, it’s just “NATO restricted” so if you live in a NATO country (or even some allied countries iirc) you can access it freely as if it was declassified, you just can’t send it to China or Russia.

    Like you can just freely Google that manual or purchase a physical copy without any sort of checks.

      That’s literally what classified means, that it has a classification. That classification is Restricted.

      That isn’t what NATO Restricted means, at least not in the US—I’m not going to attempt to delve into Hungarian law. It falls under the category of Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) established by Executive Order 13556, and codified in DoD Instruction 5200.48

      This information is not freely available to the public, and must be cleared for release according to the procedures detailed in the aforementioned documents, which specify that it should only be disseminated for official government purposes.

          You literally know nothing John snow, and your ignorance is apparent to anyone with even passing experience in this space. I know this because I only have passing experience in this space related to dumbass cyber security rules.

          Unclassified is still a classification level and doesn’t imply that it is meant for broader dissemination; CUI would need approval to be shared. People like you are why everyone has to suffer through annual training every year.

            This hit me hard and now I’m angry. But it explains why I have to speed run sexual harassment and security training every year even though it seems like a capybara would know better than to do the things being warned against.
