     ♲ @kennyc@diasporasocial.net:DOGE just hit a big roadblock:

     A federal judge this morning indefinitely blocked the Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) access to sensitive data from three federal agencies.

     The Department of Education (think: all of the personal information associated with student loans)
     The Department of the Treasury (think: personal data associated with taxes, Social Security, etc.)
     The Office of Personnel Management

     Why?: U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman cited the Privacy Act of 1974. At the time, Congress was concerned that a single bureaucrat could instantaneously collect everyone’s personal information.
