They gave me two years free credit monitoring , but that was a joke as anyone who has filled one out knows your entire life down to your dogs name is on it….internet sources at the time suspected China was behind it.
Point is, even this new Palantir data base will/ can be hacked into. Not very reassuring….under senile Joe’s Covid debacle , HR ( I was not taking the dangerous mRNA jab) informed me all anti- vaxers’ names were required to be reported to .gov….very concerning at the time.
We are headed down a very dark road.
This whole controversy is simply an attack on DOGE and fraud detection. They are not concerned about your data security. It’s a squirrel to keep you from noticing their grift.
I’m not terribly worried by this. Our gov’t has tons of data already, & a lot of it is wrong. Which allows for identity theft & other problems. I’d rather have clean records that are checked regularly & maintained properly. No duplicate voting records, no social security or medicare fraud, etc., etc. It can be done.
Just make sure there’s a death penalty for anyone - in gov’t or out - using the data for criminal means!
This has been shared on Twitter/X a lot.
An attorney chimed in and said this database is for tracking fraud within the Federal systems, things like non-citizens using other people’s Social Security numbers.
He pointed out the educational records and medical data cannot be included legally. If this is put in the records FedGov would lose in court because the law is clear.
That doesn’t mean someone won’t try in the future, but the law is clear about this.
I’m not a lawyer or paralegal, this is just what lawyers are saying.
I’ve miles and miles of files
Pretty files of your forefather’s fruit
And now to suit our great computer
You’re magnetic ink
“An attorney chimed in and said this database is for tracking fraud within the Federal systems, things like non-citizens using other people’s Social Security numbers.”
And I am sure that the data will only be used for that purpose.
I think we're there here.
Are searches for terrorists reasonable? There are two ways to do that: Rely upon government, OR rely upon the unorganized militia. Trump has shown no preferences for the latter when it has come to arresting illegal aliens. Yes, a uniform database IS more "efficient," but it is also an enormous power likely to be abused.
“This whole controversy is simply an attack on DOGE and fraud detection. They are not concerned about your data security. It’s a squirrel to keep you from noticing their grift.”
Sounds like convenient reason to let our rights be compromised and for tyranny to come upon us.
Once again, would your answer be the same if President Kamala was doing this ?

I think ... I think I am.
Therefore: I am ... I think.
What rights are being compromised? Your data security was already compromised. I am not making an argument against privacy, but this is not about privacy. This is about obstructing the ability to see across agencies how money is being spent and locating the magic money computers.
no fan of this... sorry the tech bros dont’ give one iota about what the people want. data is king and worth trillions
Those Palantir employees sound like the murderers in prison who feel morally superior to and effect justice on child abusers.
“What rights are being compromised? Your data security was already compromised. I am not making an argument against privacy, but this is not about privacy. This is about obstructing the ability to see across agencies how money is being spent and locating the magic money computers.”
All good in theory.
But our government is too big and too powerful .
It governs ONLY with our consent
Having a souped up database to allow any government employee to see everything about us is dangerous.
I do not give my consent for that.

Everything man touches eventually is corrupted. I have no big objections with President Trump in office, but his successors will surely corrupt it and it will be used for nefarious purposes.

Does that include my DNA from 23nME and any police swabs?

Yes.
AI (intellegence) is kind of like omnipresence.
AI does not have wisdom.
Proverbs mentions Wisdom a lot.
AI is more like the fool, contrasted with wisdom in Proverbs.
