The Trump administration is on its way to creating every authoritarian’s dream: a centralized database containing intimate details about every resident of this country, fully searchable by artificial intelligence. This powerful tool would empower the government to conduct previously unimagined levels of surveillance and harassment against its own people.
Freedom of the Press Foundation is suing the administration for documents behind the database. We know that this isn’t just something that the Trump administration would exploit; once built, it’s unlikely any administration could resist the urge to weaponize our personal information.
This nightmare privacy scenario began one year ago, when President Donald Trump issued an executive order that expanded data sharing across the federal government. The administration touted the order, “Stopping Waste, Fraud, and Abuse by Eliminating Information Silos,” as a way to target fraud within a supposedly bloated government.
The order was no such thing.

And the President is a pig-faced child-raping traitor.
Put that in the database, too.
If I’ve been doing anything right I’m already in several.
i remember in 2016 when the republican database of citizens leaked. it had like 25 variables per person. i downloaded it (i think i might still have it) and it was about as right as the algorithm that thinks i’m a radiological oncologist.
all it had correct about me was my address.
10 years later their tools are unfathomably better.
the algorithm still thinks i’m a radiological oncologist.
I think you misread it, it actually now thinks that you’re a radical oncologist
Have you considered the possibility?
i have, but i cannot get enough cocaine to survive med school. or rather, that much cocaine would kill me
Tinfoil hat, perpetually mad at the government types still silent for some reason.
Ultimately this sounds fucking stonks for the so-called private prison industry.
Excuse me while I begin preparing to hold my breath on the belief that the next Democratic administration will not only not abuse this system, but will actually abolish it.
i will raise your bet to one donut and coffee, i say less-flagrantly abuse but pretend they have stopped, only to have expanded the entire time. also a reminder to breathe you need that to live
Lmao fun fact everyone, you are already in many massive secret government databases and have been for years, long predating Trump
Dumbass. Elon and doge beat him to it. People should be furious.
Social score when?
- or did you want a different one?
The new us version
we’ve had one since 1958 tho that’s my point.
Not the same style as the Chinese one
And people wonder why I have such a hair up my ass about all the data and information large tech collects on us. Organize and arm up.
Doubtless that would be bad if Trump could read.
No one probably told him about the ones that already exist. That or he’s jealous someone else already made it.
Too late
I think it’s just for tweens.
Wasn’t this what Oracle was literally made for?
