10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
agencies keep their data separate for a reason.. well, many reasons. privacy and other laws restrict access to much of it, even from other agencies.
Also because, you know, if those agencies don't have a need to know it, then you're just making the data needlessly more vulnerable. I give it a year before the sensitive data of every US citizen is not only leaked (if it hasn't happened already by a nation-state under the second Trump admin) but is leaked publicly.
Leaked=sold
my guess is whatever muskrat's goons have had access to has not only been compromised but also outright stolen by him.
Bruh I don't even know 314 things about me.
simple, want the names of people he can blackmail, and people who has been criticizing him.
Yet more damage that will be permanent, even if we somehow extricate ourselves from this tyrannical nightmare. Once that data gets collated and then leaked, it's never getting separated again.
"We just want to make it easier for criminals. We're criminals so we kinda get it. If I have to go to 199 different locations to steal your identity I might not find it worth it, but if I can get ALL your information in one stop, well now we're cooking!"
Wouldn't that defacto violate HIPAA?
Trump is talking about renditioning citizens to foreign gulags for exercising their First Amendment rights and you think violating fucking HIPAA matters?
I'm certain that the executive branch will investigate itself and find nothing wrong.
No
I had no chance, i was born on a military installation; anything I would care about data wise (my own medical records mainly) are long gone, but everything else? That shit is forever.
The state I was born in has a public birth record, everything about me was already on the internet before I was an adult. I started trying to get my online info removed as an adult but it is like a game of whack-a-mole plus I get the patronizing: "all info we have is public record, we're not doing anything wrong." Then when I vote, the voting registry is public so even more up-to-date info of me gets leaked online 🫠 I froze my credit since I'm paranoid.
As for the government, well they already have all of my info, not much I can do about that. They've been spying on their citizens for decades, their surveillance expands more and more as time passes on.
Who wants to merge it? I bet the foreign national is more in control of that.
