Yeah, its a bit troubling. But is it more data aggregation, to merge data between different agencies (for a more centralised, one piece type database), or is it for other nefarious purposes? I can imagine them trying to merge various data with primary key as SSN, but if its nefarious, you can imagine punished anti-Trumpers, immigrants, etc. hard to say what the reach will be at this stage (i'm going on what i read in the nyt)

This is Patriot Act 2.0, except it’s wrapped in AI… kinda making it on steroids. Kinda seems like it’s just under the guise of “efficiency”.. this merges agency data into one hyper-centralized system. Left or right, we should all be on guard. It’s not just about who’s in power now, it’s about what future hands this tool ends up in.
