Upgraded #Google safety tools can now find & remove more of your personal info

The "Results About You" tool can now detect & remove more of your personal info. Plus, the tool for removing non-consensual explicit imagery (NCEI) is faster to use. All you have to do is tell Google your personal details first—that seems safe, right?

Results About You gains the ability to find & remove pages that include #ID numbers like your #passport , driver's license & #SocialSecurity.

What could go wrong? Maybe firing #government employees wasn't a good idea. #socialsecurity #customer #service

The Social Security data breach is a national-security disaster that could hurt Americans for the rest of their lives

“Everyone thinks this is just another data breach. This is not just another data breach”

the private data of every American who has or ever had a #SocialSecurity number was at risk after employees of DOGE uploaded a copy of the SSA’s database to a cloud that lacked oversight.

"Did you know that in 2025, #billionaires like Elon Musk had to pay the same rate of #SocialSecurity taxes as someone who earned $176,100? That’s because this is the income threshold at which the law was capped at the highest percentage bracket.

Unfortunately, the only people in a position to fix this problem are the members of the U.S. Congress and, as usual, it doesn’t appear that enough of them are willing..." https://progressive.org/latest/save-social-security-dont-bet-on-it-ervin-20260203/?mc_cid=c7ee6328fa

Image of the DBD Cornucopia Ten of Porosity card with text 'Samuel puts into practice a system without supporting, or making it very difficult, for third parties to access the service together with claimants and/or on their behalf (e.g. shared-use, assisted use, indirect intermediated use, proxy use), and to do so regularly, periodically, occasionally or as a one-off'

⚠️ #SocialSecurity PSA ⚠️

If you use Google Assist to screen calls, Social Security employees are no longer allowed to proceed with any calls answered by that service. If you have requested a call-back, you must answer it or you'll be right back at square one.

Also, if more than one person in your household is applying for benefits (ex. a parent & two kids), you must now get a separate field office appointment for each person.

Yes, all the employees think this is all asinine.

We won’t let that happen. Our coalition is mobilizing a massive campaign―already highlighted in the Times―to #STOP #Trump’s bulldozers and protect #SocialSecurity. Can you add your name today?
