    The federal government leaked my PII including my social security number in 2015.

    I’m aware (my mother works in healthcare, specifically with patient PII), of both the laws and regulations involved. But what I’m saying is, this is not going to stop them from excusing their behavior and there’s not enough states to oppose them in the long run.

    This is what happens when we allow idiots who don’t have any critical thinking skills to elect an idiot intent on tearing the system apart to the highest office in the land. Twice.

    There’s laws against this administration firing or laying off GI’s. There’s laws that should have prevented to firing of whole government agencies. There’s laws in place that are supposed to be protecting our information from DOGE. Those laws have been sparingly enforced, and are constantly under threat because the orange idiot had more than one term to stack court appointed judges and legislators.

    Even when this administration isn’t doing that they’re doing so many illegal acts at one time that our justice system couldn’t keep up even without people working against it from the inside. They’re speed running fascism over here.

    Thiel and the rest of the crony bunch are going to continue to develop Palantir to “adhere to the laws and regulations in place” while taking advantage of the fact that AI isn’t really being regulated at all and most of the people holding public office don’t have a good understanding of what it is, let alone what dangers it presents even without PII involved.

    If you think they care about privacy laws, I think I could probably find a bridge to sell you.

      I do understand there’s a difference between what we expect to have happen and what will happen - I am versed in absurdism
