Data privacy experts call DOGE actions ‘alarming’

ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/03

#columbus #ohio

While the role and actions of the Elon Musk-headed Department of Government Efficiency remain somewhat murky, data privacy experts have been tracking the group’s moves and documenting potential violations of federal privacy protections. Before President Donald Trump took office in January, he characterized DOGE as an

“This is too stupid for words,” said podcast host Chris Quinn. The cuts slash both federal food aid and funds for local farmers supplying fresh food. Families go hungry, farmers lose business—and Trump’s USDA shrugs. Northeast Ohio deserves better. #Ohio

Two days after receiving it, DeWine signs ban on most DEI, strikes at Ohio public universities

#Ohio

Gov. Mike DeWine wasted no time in signing a bill that conservatives say will crack down on what they feel is liberal indoctrination in Ohio's public universities.

In a photo provided by his office, Gov. Mike DeWine shows his signature on Senate Bill 1. Behind him are Rep. Josh Williams (R-Sylvania Twp.), sponsor Sen. Jerry Cirino (R-Kirtland), Rep. Tom Young (R-Washington Twp.), Speaker Matt Huffman (R-Lima) and Lt. Gov. Jim Tressel.

29/ Under the new #SocialSecuirty #SSA rule above, and the office closures and staff cuts mentioned in this thread above, if you don't have an SSA.Gov account before April 14th, 2025 and can use it, here is what Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) on Thursday had to say

(FYI, I am rural in #Ohio. My #SSA office was already 1 hour away. #DOGE and Musk closed it. My office is now over 2 hours away.)

"Say a 66-year-old man qualifies for Social Security. Say he calls the helpline to apply, but he's told about a new DOGE rule, so he has to go online or in person. He can't drive. He has trouble with the website, [or not permitted to use it until he does an in person visit to verify his ID because he didn't have a SSA.GOV account prior to the rule being implemented] so he waits until his niece can get a day off to take him to the local office, but DOGE closed that office, so they have to drive two hours to get to the next closest office. When they get there, there are only two people staffing a 50-person line, so he doesn't even make it to the front of the line before the office closes and he has to come back. Let's assume it takes him three months to straighten this out, and he misses a total of $5,000 in benefits checks, which, by law, he will never get back. This scenario is a backdoor way Musk and Trump could cut Social Security." #USPol
