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)

stock related or the fact that Trump is tapping their resources to build profiles of Americans?

yes. since 2018 when most people didn’t want to talk to me about it and most friends in the stock market looked at me weird… in 2020-2023 span and now, some of them aren’t looking at me weird anymore. 

you into it?

I've never heard of it before. I think it's a specialized word in business.
