Ronan Farrow on your Social Security data:

[applegrove]

One of the most basic tenets of election security is to avoid creating a Single Point of Failure (SPF). Unfortunately, it appears that SCOTUS created a potential SPF by sanctioning DOGE’s access to SSA databases, which are now a key component of Trump’s voter purge election strategy. 1/

1. I think this really was the ultimate goal of DOGE

to get access to that info

[Irish_Dem]

2. Exactly. Musk wants cash, power, control, data.

He was mining for data he could use.

[Skittles]

3. and Trump.2 gave it to him

WHY isn't this a major news story? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

[Irish_Dem]

5. Trump sold it to him for a price.

And also Trump owed him for stealing the election.

The media doesn't care.
They work for the Trump Crime Syndicate.

[Skittles]

7. but THEIR information got sold too

what a bunch of spineless little weasles

[Irish_Dem]

10. None of them seem to care that they are in danger too.

I guess they think they are immune from any fall out.
The billionaires and Trump will save them.
Cowards and idiots.

14. The data breach from DOGE is on a couple of the signs at a weekly vigil,

which I attend at the local Social Security office.

4. Yup. The right wants a database they can cross match with

voter rolls and have data on every voter in the country including their political affiliation. That way they can microtarget people with specific messages to vote if they are republicans or to be afraid to vote if they are democrats. AI could spew articles in front of you in social media with the latest gaslighting or threat or attack on a minority targeted to your age, postal code (which are have marketing descriptions of the residents). I can see a white father, an independant, with teen daughters, targeted with photos and stories of mixed race marriages with young white women marrying black men. Like that.

11. I wonder if the data makes for more sophisticated targeting...

of the purges of Democrats and left voting independents.

[applegrove]

12. I think I saw a graph/diagram of all the nihilistic parties

grabbing power and under the techbros they mentioned data being a goal. I'll look for that link.

But yeah most people agree it is about purging right now which is why they are so desperate to get the voter rolls from blue states that Noem tried to blackmail Walz.

6. Kind of off topic but he's really starting to look like his Dad.

[Maru Kitteh]

13. Kind of off topic but I'm still sad he and Lovitt broke up.

I dunno. I just thought they were a cute couple.

[Joinfortmill]

8. Jeezus.

[BidenRocks]

9. maga/gop love spof!

It creates monopolies which they exploit!

Look at the old Ambassador Bridge and the new Gordie Howe crossing.

Volume alone demands a second span, but rich fucks only care about their self interests.

What did chump receive to deny the Gordie Howe opening? (Illegally)

Don't be a Moroun!
