مستخلص: This article discusses the history and impact of government secrecy in the United States. It highlights the vast amount of classified information that is stored and protected by the government, as well as the significant financial resources allocated to maintaining this secrecy. The author argues that excessive secrecy can hinder democratic accountability and proposes using data science tools to analyze declassified documents and strike a balance between national security and public access to information. However, the article also acknowledges the limitations of data science in fully addressing the problem of government secrecy, emphasizing the need for political will and collective efforts to challenge and reform the system.
