ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This non-targetability property raises the cost and visibility of attacks: an adversary cannot surgically target an individual user's data without triggering a system-wide attack, which is harder to conduct covertly.

Interpretive note: The clause uses 'should not be able to,' which is a normative design goal rather than an absolute guarantee. The distinction between a design requirement and a verified technical property is not resolved in the excerpt.
