    The guy practically has an all access pass to govt data. How is this not a gigantic conflict of interest?

      It’s not a “conflict of interest”. It’s violating the basic human rights and civil liberties of every US citizen. Their right to privacy, along with all their data, is supposed to be protected, but has been sold directly to a criminally corrupt oligarch who will weaponize it against them… An oligarch who probably couldn’t even pass a legitimate, independent psych eval, background check, or security clearance.

      No-one in the history of the world has had this type of direct access into every government system. I’m not even sure the NSA, or any “intelligence agency” does, as direct access laterally across all these systems is a critical attack vector of national security that could basically cripple the economy, military, country, etc if it got into the wrong hands.

        civil liberties

        right to privacy

        You’re kidding, right? US citizens never had a right to privacy. They barely have any rights compared to other civilized countries
