I winder of money was involved in this decision?
- Somebody gave Trump a happy meal to scrap it.
- Yeah, dude said so:
  the rule is “not aligned with the Bureau’s current interpretation”
This is probably partly what DOGE was for, gathering all the data and selling it, and now US citizens will be scammed to high hell.
I don’t get it. If they’re already extracting value from my existence why the FUCK do I still have to work
- Because your very existence is only worth pennies to them.
Of course. They want to suck in some of that cash too under the table. Why expect anything more by a government ran by known scammers.
At this point what data is even left to sell that hasn't already been sold? All my info is out on the dark web already.
- Well, if you put it that way, sell away then.

Well I mean yeah. What tf is Elon gonna do with all the data he scraped under doge if the restrictions were still in place?
/s for the dumbfucks looking for a fight
