This response is so funny to me.
You'll be on your knees begging for bureaucracy after all your info is sold to the highest bidder and you spend the next 20 years fighting identity theft.

"New court documents shed light on what a 25-year-old DOGE employee named Marko Elez did inside Treasury Department payment systems. They also provide extensive new details about which systems Elez accessed, the security precautions Treasury IT staff took to limit his access and activity, and what changes he made to the systems. The documents indicate that the situation at Treasury is more nuanced than previously reported."
(...)
"Additionally, he could only connect using a government-issued laptop that had "cybersecurity tools" installed on it to prevent him from accessing web sites or cloud-based storage services with the laptop or connecting a USB or other external storage device to it to copy large amounts of data from Treasury systems. "
It's so funny you think quoting a newspaper that says some random staffer doesn't CURRENTLY have access is some sort of gotcha. Do you know how time works?
Correction: - not quoting a newspaper, but court documents. - not a random staffer, but THE staffer you are so concerned about.

Is DOGE releasing private info?
I don't know AND THAT'S THE POINT. No one knows. There is ZERO oversight except for a guy who just coincidentally made his billions on US government subsidies.
Neither was there before.

Yes.
They're using public LLMs to analyze it. Every single LLM provider collects the data you put into it.
There's also the NRO incident recently where they publicly released the classified org chart.
DOGE should not be even near private data without a clearance.
I think that ship has sailed.
His first term, he handed out security clearances to anyone who would ask. There is even less stopping him from just giving them out this term too.
