Supreme Court - edition.cnn.com/2025/06/06/business/doge-greenlight-access-your-social-security-data

Meanwhile, the regime is said to be planning for ALL data on indivuduals be amalgamated into one AI searchable database under the control of DOGE ( probably headed by Peter Thiel)

What information each agency holds on individuals, and why it matters that DOGE wants access to it all - www.npr.org/2025/03/11/nx-s1-5305054/doge-elon-musk-security-data-information-privacy

And so, no-one in the USA will be safe. Is there a way to stop this?

Is George Orwell's 1984 not on the syllabus in High Schools in the USA?
I wonder, Maremia about this, too.
If the courts won't stop this, who can/ will?

Will DOGE even function now?
Will people just start saying "No" to things?

The USA has always had a high level of access to public info via pre existing federal agencies this is just another layer, and hard to see how it could be dialled back - .
The overall effect is fear or at least caution that - lie low, don't rock the boat..not good.

Yet....people always somehow do find ways not to be crushed, to stand against.

Getting a bit like China isn't it? or like 1984 as already mentioned.

You get what you pay (vote) for and the Americans voted for Trump, what more could they expect?
