> it's not a data breach for the government to have access to government data
This absurd oversimplification needs to be called out.
The 'government' is not a single individual, nor should 'government data' be treated without regards to specifics.
The exact entity doing the accessing, and the exact data that's being accessed, all need to be accounted for, and the appropriateness of the access will change depending on the context.
DOGE hasn't been transparent in any of this, which is my chief complaint at the moment.
Good call out, that absurd simplication is why people think they hate the government and want to strip it to its bone.
