Oh, nothing about it was remotely legal. So, previous admin had formed a task force charged with auditing the government's networking equipment, basically. Cheetoh-faced McDictator comes in, they rename this taskforce DOGE, and tell em to do their thing. But their legal authority or mandate or whatever was never changed, and of course they took actions the executive branch legally isn't permitted to do. But the few people who challenged this were forced aside by the police, including at least one case where the people trying to stop shit called the pigs.

I think more likely the SSN becomes less valuable as an identification tool. For a lot of places, your phone number has already become the default qualifier, including in credit profiling. Everyone else is relying on phone companies to vet your identity.
Oh so....not our social security number? Or was that just a terribly placed joke?
