    So I guess things like student loans aren’t fully trustable any longer. Who knows what they’ve done with our personal data, which I did not consent to giving to Musk or DOGE.

    If you’re getting asked to pay taxes and other things, why do we have to ‘trust’ data which was removed from consumer protection?

    If they want to remove your rights to healthcare and other things as well, why should we pay if they’re rigging all the in-place systems we have relied on to function our society?

    Do we as Americans get to know what data was leaked? Or was it just everthing? Should I run a free credit report now or do you think I should wait a couple of weeks?.  lol

    Title makes it sound like he gave the info to his buddies who wanted it. No, the people working at DOGE had temporary access for carrying out their assigned work.

    It is very hard to be anti-Elon when you have to fact check and dig into every anti-Elon story. If you just believe the headlines and talk to any skeptical right-winger, you’re gonna look real stupid when Google searches come out

      Oh look, someone who has no fucking clue how the US government works, speaking bullshit with authority, and has the gall to be petulant about it.

      Fuck off.

      And why do they need personal data to carry out their jobs again? Wasn’t this about government efficiency; as in: the bigger picture? Why concern yourself with the specifics of Johnathan Doe?

      Did the people who had “temporary access” have stringent security measures in place such that the access was not misused? No?

      Did they ensure that after the “temporary access” none of these people retained any of said information improperly? No again?

      Did any of the people pass background checks that normal government employees must pass before being given access to said data? No for a third time?

      Is there any reason to trust that they treated the data responsibly other than blind faith? No x4.

        And if it was for an official government business, I suspect We American citizens will have full access to the report in detail of the data’s use…right? Right? ….guys?
