Ageism is refusing to hire someone who meets all the qualifications for the job because of their age. Refusing to hire someone whose inexperience makes them unqualified for the job is not the same as ageism.
To make the objections folks have here plain: these employees literally do not have the security clearance required to access the data they’re looking at. What they are doing is illegal.
We can and should yell at young people for knowingly doing illegal shit and raiding our government, though. Like, that’s my money they’ve unilaterally and extracongressionally decided to reappropriate with a smirk on their faces. Fuck that.

Why just young people? If an old person does it then it's ok? I think GP is wrong about this, but you're inadvertently proving GP's point and making me wonder if maybe there is some ageism going on...
I would hope that most people recognize that different standards for people by age are not ok, but that isn't the same as different standards for different levels of experience and qualification.
