When it comes to your personal data held by the government - the phrase "“unprecedented usage” is code for illegal!
In Nov., the Social Security Administration (SSA) quietly revealed (issued a SORN) the agency would be sharing “citizenship and immigration information” with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
The SORN makes the data sharing official and allows for public feedback. The SSA SORN has already received more than 10,000 comments, including, “No, absolutely not. This is so dangerous.” https://www.wired.com/story/dhs-data-grab-putting-us-citizens-at-risk/ #Privacy #DataPrivacy #Data #PrivacyAct #DHS #SSA #SocialSecurity #VoterVerification #PersonalData #SORN #Immigration #DataSharing
"Meta’s surveillance isn’t limited to your online activity. The company also encourages businesses to send them data about your offline purchases and interactions. Even deleting your Facebook and Instagram accounts won’t stop Meta from harvesting your personal data. Meta in 2018 admitted to collecting information about non-users, including their contact details and browsing history."

⚖️ EFF Lawsuit Over Federal Employee Data Sharing Moves Forward
A federal judge just refused to dismiss the EFF’s lawsuit against OPM, DOGE, and Elon Musk—a major privacy milestone.
The case alleges:
・📂 OPM improperly shared sensitive data of millions of federal employees
・🏛️ The data transfer to Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) violated the Privacy Act of 1974
・🚨 The court ruled the disclosures were plausibly “illegal, rushed, and dangerous”
EFF, backed by major federal employee unions, is demanding:
・An injunction to stop the data sharing
・The return of already-transferred data
This case could define the limits of federal data handling in politically charged administrations. It’s also a wake-up call for how privacy laws must evolve to meet new power structures.
