They (the DOGE bros, especially Elon) deserve prison time for their fuckery.
It’s times like this I wonder about the like/dislike paradigm I.E. “I like/dislike knowing this and/or appreciate the perceived reputability of the source” vs. “This is good news/I fucking hate this.”
This one just got a “I fucking hate this” from me.
At this point I think you can legally opt out of any type of data collection by the government like the Census. You’re required by law to participate but they are also required by law to keep your information safe, that’s no longer possible in this administration and there’s plenty of relevant data to back it up.
I think we should be able to have a national class action against DOGE. 100% serious, all US citizens for sure, and anyone else with data in the Social Security database, should sue the individuals responsible for this.
Then we take the money and start a company that contracts out to the government to create a national digital ID system that is the most secure in the world, and allows for amazing anonymity.
I don’t think it was a “random” cloud server at all. I think the people who bought the data already have it now.
DOGE employees should be executed by firing squad. In fact, we should bring back a whole bunch of capital punishments- hanging, beheading, drawing and quartering, burning at the stake; unless you meet the fascists at their level you’ll never scare them enough to keep their political views private. Like what happened to Mussolini was TOO GOOD for every single person involved in the executive branch right now.
Do this to everyone Trump hired or part of his cohort including him. They are all evil gangster criminals.

Once a nuke goes off in a major city, we are pretty much guaranteed it from what I understand about multiple cyberpunk-style worlds
SSN is a good example of the illusion of freedom for Americans, why have a standardized Photo ID when you can have a set of numbers that when leaks can ruin your life.
