The US government is secretly developing one of the largest surveillance systems in American history — a mega-database merging information from dozens of federal agencies to create "360-degree profiles" of immigrants.

The DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) program integrates data from Homeland Security, Social Security Administration, and the IRS. What's being collected includes immigration status, employment records, tax filings, biometric data, and potentially social media monitoring.

Privacy experts warn this could become the most comprehensive surveillance tool ever created by the US government. The Electronic Frontier Foundation calls it "a dangerous expansion of government surveillance threatening the privacy rights of millions."

Five key risks:

No transparency about what data is collected or how it will be used

Mission creep — systems built for immigrants inevitably expand to other populations

Inadequate privacy protections and independent oversight

Data breach risk from concentrating sensitive information in one system

Discriminatory potential for profiling based on ethnicity or national origin

This program follows a global trend toward digital authoritarianism. China's social credit system, Russia's "Sovereign Internet" — now America's version. Tools built for "protection" become tools of control.

A small set of people are merging changes to various Linux components to make sure every application knows your birth date.

This is being done rapidly by people with questionable justifications and being merged with no youth and few marginalized people involved.
