Summary
A federal judge blocked Elon Musk’s DOGE from accessing Social Security systems holding Americans’ personal data, calling the effort a “fishing expedition.”
The court ordered DOGE to delete any collected personal data but allowed access to redacted information after training.
The ruling followed a lawsuit by unions and advocacy groups, citing privacy violations and security risks. The Trump administration defended DOGE’s anti-fraud efforts.
Critics hailed the decision as a win for privacy, while DOGE’s access to other federal databases remains under scrutiny.
It’s amazing that they want to take away social security because there may be a trivial number of fraudulent claims, but refuse to get rid of the death penalty even though innocent people have been killed
Does the court decision matter in the sense that it’ll actually be enforced against him? I don’t have a lot of faith.
Didn’t they already install the backdoors though?
I kinda assumed they had either already exfiltrated whatever they wanted to add to their AI dataset or had backdoor access at this point. But that’s the neat part! No one knows!
