Let's jump right into the magical world's secrets with a debate on the biggest secret of all: the secret of magic itself.

What are your opinions on the International Statute of Secrecy? Is it a fair law? When is it okay to break the law and reveal the secret of magic to Muggles? And what would you do if a Muggle discovered your secret and tried to take advantage of it?

Initial comment of at least 150 words for 10 points, additional comments 2 points each. Let's get a conversation going!

I never even thought about technology but it would probably be hard to fend against the Internet, especially since wizards know so little about it. I guess if wizards dedicated time to combating the Internet, they would be able to. Maybe they could invent a spell that makes it so that magic can't be recorded? Like how vampires can't be seen in the mirror?

I like the idea of creating a, say, reverse-Trace that applies to all magic users and makes them un-recordable. Maybe they'd even have to ask for help from friendly vampires (if there exist such a thing???) to ask them how the principle of not being viewable in a mirror works.

Oh, that sounds reasonable. But on the other hand, electronic things do seem to not work properly with magic involved. Or is this just a fandom thing?

Anyway, suppressing the Internet would be a huge task either way.
