I want the issue of mass surveillance / data collection to be addressed, instead of this bs which is basically working around the edges the problem. Tick-tock shouldn't be allowed to sell (/provide) user data to anyone but neither should Meta, X, reddit, etc.
It's a bad analogy. Mass surveillance (continuous collection of everyone's data) has very little to do with the number we use to track social security payments.
We're talking about individuals' personal data stored by social media companies being accessible to others (governments, in this case). This has nothing to do with social security.
The problem is that the data is accessable, but that's not being addressed. This is an improper fix to an actual problem, just facts.
