You should be extremely worried! Run in Fear of what might come to pass!" because some guy filled out a request to have admin access to some government data stores. Ridiculous. Between United, BCBS, and existing Chinese infiltrations into OPM and telcos your data is already compromised by real / confirmed bad actors. This is disappointing click bait from the Atlantic and their editors should be ashamed of its publication.

Where can I submit a feature request ticket?

"Oh congratulations, you made it! You won't see any of the people you interviewed with ever again. You'll be placed on 1 of 3 teams that do things we've never spoken to you about. I'm sure you are going to love it here!"

But most people treat 'data' as a singular noun, especially when talking about computers etc.

For example:-

The data is being transferred from my computer to yours.

And I have to be honest, I've never heard anyone ask for a datum. "

It could be the case that the scientific pluralization is leaking into regular usage because more people are collectively reading / reporting on scientific studies. Alternatively, Google / Grammarly and similar tools might be suggesting it because it's been seen in their training data / examples.

In any case, IMHO 'datum' is a singular point of information, any reference to multiple points of information would make the noun plural.

"Data" was not treated this way in the past and now it is everywhere. Where did it come from and why did it change?

I think after 20 years of this repeating pattern JS frameworks might finally die off. We can only hope!

Sad to say but that's probably what communities in the US will have to do as well.
