Smears, Sadism & Social Security

Why #ElonMusk wants to make seniors suffer

"Under [Musk's] plan, beneficiaries would still be able to call the #SSA. But they would have to verify their identity either over the #internet or through in-person visits to field offices.

Bear in mind that we’re talking about older and/or disabled #Americans, many of whom are unable to access the internet & physically unable to visit SSA offices"

Geen idee wat ACME is?

"numerous #conflicts of interest & #ethics issues. #Musk already collects billions of dollars through his #government contracts, & controls #Starlink. If #WhiteHouse employees are using the #internet service, he could have access to their #data... questions as to how secure Starlink’s #network is."

Elon Musk’s Starlink Expands Across White House Complex

#Trump admn officials said the company donated the #internet service, saying the gift had been vetted by the lawyer overseeing ethics issues in the #WhiteHouse Counsel’s Office.

" #Musk... controls Starlink...

the White House “was aware of DOGE’s intentions...” and that it “did not consider this matter a security incident or #security breach.”

Outgoing Commerce Official Shreds Elon Musk’s Starlink in Final Email

An official working on broadband expansion brutally condemned #Musk.

" #ElonMusk intends to get rich at the expense of rural #Americans...

“Stranding all or part of rural #America with worse #internet so that we can make the world’s richest man even richer is yet another in a long line of betrayals by Washington,” Feinman wrote"

"nine of the top ten #online shows are right-leaning...

right-leaning online shows have amassed nearly 481 million #followers across platforms — almost five times more than the 104 million followers for left-leaning shows...

the result of a deliberate, well-funded #strategy to colonize the digital #media landscape with #conservative voices...

right-wing personalities are frequently backed by #billionaire money"

…It was…unclear if #Starlink communications were #encrypted. At a minimum, the system allows for a network separate from existing WH servers that people on the grounds are able to use, keeping that data separate.

“It’s super rare” to install Starlink or another #internet provider as a replacement for existing govt #infrastructure that has been vetted & secured, said Jake Williams, a VP for R&D at Hunter Strategy, a #cybersecurity consultancy. “I can’t think of a time that I have heard of that.”

That feeling you get when you've LITERALLY (as in literally literally) spent YEARS (as in, ever since they first shipped) telling people not to install Amazon #Echo (or any similar device) in their homes because they are enormous #privacy risks…

… only to be ignored by nearly everyone…

… and now those same people who ignored you are going around telling everyone else to throw away their privacy hole devices.

That feeling? Annoyed doesn't BEGIN to describe it. 😠😠😠😠

" #Trump administration is poised to unduly enrich #ElonMusk ’s satellite #internet company w/money for #rural broadband.

The #technology offered by #Starlink, Musk’s company, is inferior"
