Russell Vought, acting head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has canceled plans to introduce new rules designed to limit the ability of US data brokers to sell Americans’ most sensitive data, credit history, and Social Security numbers.

Holy shit. Americans are sitting ducks under this regime. You will soon lose all claims to your personal data. It will be up for sale just like the rest of America.
Watch him carefully. He wants to control everything and everyone. He won't stop until we are begging for a morsel of food and our country resembles an abandoned strip mall.
Call your senators and representatives. There is a tiny clause stuck into the reconciliation bill that prevents ANY regulation or laws on the development of AI for ten years. To increase Musk’s and Theil’s AI Palantir. This is why Big Balls stole our personal information. MAGA cult sucks.
They are focusing our attention on the Chief Buffoon while Vought, a core author of Project 2025, works like the wizard behind the curtain dismantling and eliminating safeguards to protect consumers, workers and very sensitive data on every single person in the country.

Leaving aside the outrage I’d immediately want to express to anyone who might listen, as I hear this news I struggle to imagine a thought structure of “conservative” principles that could possibly see this outcome as desirable.
They have all these ideas but they have to cave on them all because they know America will fucking scream and fight against it all while I feel like I am losing hope I am still at the point where the only way to overthrow the government is for the American people to rise up.
"Because the people that want to buy that stuff gave me a lot of money, and I have no morals or sense of decency. Also I'm incredibly insecure and very lonely, which I've fostered into a deep sense of resentment for the average American."
So if this data is viewed as meaningless to him, I suppose he’d be okay with all his information being sold - or even given away - then? This whole Orwell Project 2025 bullshit is aggressively mean and stupid as hell.

Someone in power has to carefully watch this guy. He appears to be the nexxus of the destructive actions in the government. Its like watching someone stick their hand in fire!
A self-described Christian nationalist, Vought is the founder of the Center for Renewing America,[1] an organization that opposes critical race theory[2] and advocates for the idea of America as a "nation under God".
This person is also one of the architects of project 2025 and somewhere along the road got dropped on his head. His mind has a very deranged picture of how life should be and the last person to be given any position of responsibility.
We're watching a predator's haven be formed before our sleeping eyes.
“When federal workers wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. We want their funding to be shut down… we want to put them in trauma.“ Russell Vought
That’s convenient. And how much $$$ do you think Musk, Big Balls, et al will make harvesting all those massive government databases full of our personal information that they’re ‘examining’ for fraud, waste, & abuse?
As always, this administration & everyone in it are the swamp, & we’re the mark.
Who needs data brokers when we have/had fElon’s little dogies taking our personal data and using it for who knows what and selling it to who knows whom.
He is an author and backer of Project 2025 and will do what is necessary to sow chaos, misery & discontent as a means to his oligarchical, far right, dystopian vision.
I wonder if this means that everyone's data will be for sale, including his. This could make things very interesting for those who might expose the rank underbelly of all these MAGA fools.
Russell Vought is an extremely dangerous & evil man who is acting to remove protections for American consumers from greedy & malicious companies & the people who run them. Profit & Power are the gods he worships, & he'll use them against all everyday Americans. We're only here to serve him.
I think you're right, and they can't say where it went, why they needed it, or what they are doing with it. Angers me that the courts are so slow to act and to date, I don't think any one of these blow holes has been made accountable. We need to have a class action lawsuit and sue them ourselves.
I’ve had more unrelated-to-any-damned-thing spam phone texts and emails in all three accounts in the last three months than in the last 20 years combined.
The fact that this smug fascist is somewhat intelligent and views his role in the WH as part of a holy war makes him far more dangerous than Trump alone. He’s a death cult level Christian Nationalist.
This shady asshole needs to be investigated, removed from his positions and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
He is a sadist con man trying to create Gilead IRL.
Dems, run hearings now.
The #Krasnov administration seems to support anything that makes the Internet more toxic and criminal, including promoting crypto scams for their benefit, eliminating government employees who work to combat disinformation, and hacking by foreign countries.

.
Health, Social Security, work history, etc ... he has it ALL and now he can sell it.
Credit reporting agencies will be able to another 'criteria' to their reports on how 'worthy' any applicant is

The only silver lining would be if Vought's data was critically breached.🤬 #VoughtIsATraitor
But, no, I was wrong. It’s actually a terrible, harmful, immoral policy, so it makes complete sense.
@warren.senate.gov what say you?

Ya know, just to see if he really "doesn't care" about consumers being the victims of fraud.
A real life case to test out his new system.
