Original Note:
The claims by Missouri's governor are false. The journalist discovered educator private data that the state IT contractor leaked. This was seen using standard webbrowser "view source" functions. Responsible ethical disclosure was made to let the state fix before reporting. https://www.vice.com/en/article/jg8ynp/governor-wants-to-prosecute-journalist-who-clicked-view-source-on-government-site
