DOGE staffers have skirted privacy laws, training and security protocols to gain virtually unfettered access to financial and personal information stored in siloed government databases.

Do we yet again have another violation of security protocols? It’s clear that we do, if half of the administration, including the vice president are chatting it up in an app lord only knows what’s going on within Doge.
This man should be on the FBI's Most Wanted List for being a threat to America, not the one pulling the strings & running a shadow government behind FOTUS, dismantling our government services & doing heaven knows what with our sensitive, private data. Wake up America! Being woke is good!
I haven't heard this, and maybe she is caving in, but I gotta wonder- can we do this without sexually violating her? I mean, that's rather Maga behavior.
Yeah, sorry. Def. too crude. Anyway, she said she regretted old posts she'd made about trump being a racist. Said they were reactions to something "the president" was saying at the time, not to who he is, and that she wouldn't suggest such things today. Self (npr?) preservation I guess.
Let take all his money, nationalize space x, and throw this illegal alien out of the US? He over stayed his student visa when he dropped out of his masters program.
Kramer: "It's for efficiencies, Jerry"
Jerry: "You don't even know what an efficiency is, do you?"
Kramer: "No, but they do Jerry. They're the ones making them!"
Trump is the modern Henry the 8th, making up lies and shredding our federal government like Henry did with the Catholic Church, promising a better way while giving our hard earned wealth to his closest friends. This country is being ripped off...
Wow when will the Americans stop this steal. This guy is interested in the gold in Fort Knox. Donald said he wants to use the gold for bitcoin. If people don't stop this, your country will fall into poverty and dictatorship.
Again: THIS is why Trump admin lawyers are claiming in court Elon Musk isn't the head of DOGE - because they're trying to protect him/his companies from liability/court actions from Americans for STEALING their data!
Elon & his white supremacist hacker boys are thieves! Jail awaits them!
WAKE UP Americans!
Elon Musk & his white supremacist hacker boys are RAPING you while you sleep!
Waiting for the day Elon ends up in jail for this.
Biden should've taken away Elon's contracts, security clearances & his citizenship [since he lied on his citizenship application].
If you are a social media company you want as much data as possible about a person to create a profile that is most valuable to advertisers. You tell users you are collecting this data (or not) in exchange for using the service.
2/ when citizens give their data to the government— more accurately a part of the government—we do so for an express purpose. To collect tax. To process as benefits. To get Medicare reimbursement. For a statistical survey. We don’t want everything the government knows about us in one place. WHY?
3/ Because unlike Facebook, the govt can put us in prison, or deport us, or confiscate or money or property, or subject us to coercion in legal proceedings. they have this power whether their portrait of us is accurate or not. They have real power over us. What if we have to worry they abuse it?
4/ well, we would be much less likely to cooperate. Normal
Government functions start to fall apart.
That’s what the privacy act is about. Only use our data for the specified purpose and don’t share it with anyone. Even other agencies. Especially other agencies.
5/ Germany had a very bad experience with a govt that had total information and total control over them. They have much stricter privacy and data sharing rules than we have.
Enter DOGE. They don’t care about privacy. They just see the power of connecting all the data. Build a complete profile. WHY
/6. Elon and thus DOGE thinks people are all about cheating the government. In fact he just said the Dems operate the govt as a piggy bank for illegal immigrants. Could just have called them welfare queens or whatever.
So they are going to put all the data together to root out the bad guys.
What unforgiveable sin did we commit to have this unscrupulous pompous ass wipe in charge of anything that effects the daily lives of American citizens? Trump and Musk are a curse.
I can't decide who I loathe most in this presidency. The inhumanity, the cruelty, the extortion, the blatant grift, the lunacy, the sheer incompetence, and ignorance by the majority of these officials are overwhelming. These miscreants and their minions in the GOP are disgraceful and disastrous
That’s easy. They need our financial and personal info so they can find reasons to kick us off luxury programs like social security and Medicare, and institute annual means tests for all. All without ever having to ask you ANYTHING because they’ll already know.
AI training, they need the data. That’s the goal of the “Techno State”. Musk and Thiel want to destroy America and turn the world into Corporate Fiefdoms. They believe they are wealthier and smarter so they should be in control. #CognitiveElite
If they can’t describe why they want access to sensitive files then the answer is a double NO.
In reality, they shouldn’t be leading any program reviews as they have shown that it isn’t efficiency and waste that they seek but dismantling and terminating as many as possible.
Did the people who voted for Hitler know what they were really getting?
B/C these folks who voted for Herr Trump and Hitler II knew what they were getting
If they say they didn’t they are lying
It was written down and Dems told them about P25 and they didn’t care
The cognitive immaturity shown in wearing a hat claiming liar in chief Trump was right about anything is astonishing from a supposedly ‘intelligent’ person. No one, other than Jesus Christ, was or is right about everything. Not even close. A pathological liar incapable of truthfulness least of all.
My confidence in DOGE ensuring security & integrity of data it has accessed & not doing irreparable damage to our gov is not heightened by highest ranking gov officials using Signal & including a no security clearance reporter in their group txts.
I must confess I’m concerned.
America we all pay -out of fear- for extra security on our personal accounts, and yet we are ok with this millionaire and his minions gaining access into our private data for who knows what purpose? This is complete bull.
When will people realise DOGE IS NOT A REAL THING. They can be barred, no orders they give must be complied, no one will enforce their unlawful decisions. No judge will ever make you follow their orders.
Members of the phony Dept of Giant excrement must be ARRESTED. DEPORT and BAN their lead moron Musk. Musk is a TRAITOR who does not give ONE foo about the US. GET RID OF HIM
Skirted? Is that what you call coming in with no legal authority, with chain saws blazing and no consideration for the consequences of destroying the government and democracy?
Skirted. C'mon.
ICE will easily be able to ID and round up individuals, groups or populations as decreed by the admin. They started out just grabbing brown men with tattoos. They’ll progress using this data- who will be next? Women who buy pregnancy tests? LGBTQ school teachers?
GET IN THE STREETS AMERICA
If they can't provide a good reason, there is no reason to provide it. And more fundamentally, we question their authority to have any of it in the first place!

But it’s cosplay so we have to assume it’s about him alone in some costume with padded muscles getting out of something he did so he can go to Mars…
Dems?
And leave the phony govt Department acronym

Oh yeah, and to $ell your info too.
Literally as they’re mishandling their own. 🥴🖕🏼

Everything should be on the Dark Net soon...
There's a difference.
They know exactly what they're doing and why they're doing it. They just don't want the American people to know.
I must confess I’m concerned.
But that's not how LLMs work. And the results would promise to be hilarious bullshit.
Hilarious is a laughing maniacally into the void kind of way.
If so why not say it?
"...but can't say why"
but
"...won't say why"
Big difference. Like day and night.

Heck he won't even need that Chip In Your Head.
He will know everything about you, that he needs.
this is just page 1!
Welcome to post Justice America.
That specific data hasn’t been touched…yet.
He thinks he should have it, and people should be raging pissed he wants it.
End of story.
I’m abdicating to him
Skirted. C'mon.

FOOLS think power comes from something other than people. FOOLS are mistaken.
Well, that gives me confidence. \s
