Always a good sign when they start putting together "lists". Worked out well in Germany.

Every modern country puts together "lists", it is like saying building highways is bad since look what happened in Germany.

Germany has very strong data protection laws and avoids creating broad centralized national registries because of what happened 90 years ago.

DOGE doesn’t seem to have such scruples about what information they’re storing and how.

I'm curious how folks imagine this relates to legal issues, such as the perennial section 702 battles. Is it possible that a future functional Congress might be able to finally end warrantless wiretapping by pointing to this massive intrusive criminal activity? It seems evident that this exercise can only ever lead to leveraging that system to further harm Americans.

I think this is bombastic. What information could they have that Meta, data brokers, and companies have about us already? I just don't see the concern. No one has privacy
