OP, please revise your title to match the article, it is currently misinformation.
The complaint is about where the oversight comes from. This is not some random cloud server.
“S.S.A. stores all personal data in secure environments that have robust safeguards in place to protect vital information,” he said. “The data referenced in the complaint is stored in a longstanding environment used by S.S.A. and walled off from the internet. High-level career S.S.A. officials have administrative access to this system with oversight by S.S.A.’s information security team.”

I don't think it was a "random" cloud server at all. I think the people who bought the data already have it now.
Half right. OP's title is massively misleading. Private SSA cloud, the complaint is about where oversight comes from.

I've got him tagged as "likes Elon" just as a heads up.
You should put a little star next to the tag to complete the irony of it.

Help who? No one can help them, it's really up the americans to sort their shit out.
Help whoever you can with whatever you can. Everyone is different. My strengths and weaknesses are different than yours friend. No one person is a lost cause, and history has taught us that no one country is either.

Gee, who could've foreseen this happening after a gang of techbro goons forced their way in and opened backdoors on all those computers...
Forced their way in, were given the keys and explicit orders to take all the data and put it in massive back-door ridden places for themselves and Russia, potato, potahto

Oh, i get that, I was talking about the people and their meek protests. The elites are laughing all the way to the bank. End stage capitalism.
Yeah, America isn't going to stand up. We're already beaten.

Agreed, but for now it's a hard transition, and hopefully this has shown that your constitution and checks and balances need to be revised in the future to prevent another authoritarian takeover. -
They (the DOGE bros, especially Elon) deserve prison time for their fuckery.
Funny, I have an interview invite from DOGE (I considered joining USDS before it became DOGE, had been asked to join by a member back during Obama). Obviously I never did it, but I do keep those emails for historical purposes now haha

Don't recognize clanker pronouns, that's a bot!

I have cousins in Texas, I will kindly fuck off and live happily knowing you've bowed down and gone into the good night with a whimper. It's going to be fun to watch DC and Chicago turning into some random ME country. You have the army on the streets and you do fuck all. You have Nazi flags and call that free speech. Sad to say but you reap what you sow.
May you find the peace online you never could in real life.

I genuinely appreciate the sentiment, peace is small fleeting moments. Anger is the over riding emotion, the state of the world is cause for anger.
Bless you. -

Good, let everything go wrong in America, they might eventually wake up and realise what a clusterfuck they've allowed themselves to become and actually do something about it.
Accelerationism like that never works. When it all settles, you get extremely mild improvements for a whole lot of hurt.

What do you propose then, I'm asking in good faith. It's fairly obvious to anyone with common sense that Trump, the GOP and the entire MAGA movement and their ilk need to be removed from power. How can people fight the government that is back by billionaires who control your entire lives?

Protests must be more sustained instead of the bursts of activity we've seen. Even direct action will fail if it's not combined with large scale protest methods. Unfortunately, people get worn down doing constant protesting.
Trump won't be around in another 10 years one way or another. It's rare to find cults of personality that outlive their leader. But if we use Nazi Germany as an example of what happens next, it's basically a return to liberalism. Half the country went to that almost immediately, and the other half just took longer. Granted, Germany has a better social safety net than America does now, but it's hardly anti-capitalist.
TBH, I don't have a good answer. I'm mostly doing the anarchist thing of using social groups to get people to rely less on capitalism and more on each other. That's more of a long term thing, though.

I appreciate the honest reply, I agree with most things, I think large scale protests must include a general strike. This administration is all about the bottom line, and a sustained general strike will hit them hard.
I'm well aware of the argument of people living paycheck to paycheck seemingly unable to do that, however the alternative is very bleak.
I wish you luck and keep it up -

Yeah, more protests that aren't just like once a month. But I don't know how to organize that, and most of the platforms that people communicate on are owned by the worst people.
