Trump Administration Seeks Supreme Court Approval for DOGE Access to Social Security Data
The Trump administration has filed multiple requests with the Supreme Court to grant DOGE, a cryptocurrency associated with Elon Musk, access to sensitive Social Security data. This move comes amid concerns over cybersecurity and the implications of allowing DOGE to access such private information, which could potentially harm millions of Americans. Despite previous blocks from appellate courts, the administration continues to push for access, emphasizing the need for the Supreme Court to intervene. Lawmakers and cybersecurity experts have raised alarms regarding the risks posed by granting DOGE unfettered access to federal data systems, leading to a growing debate over privacy and data security.
