DOGE says it needs to know the government's most sensitive data, but can't say why

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. ent-s-most-sensitive-data-but-can-t-say-why.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Wednesday, March 26th 2025 at 11:20 GMT by KPBS}

DOGE staffers have skirted privacy laws, training and security protocols to gain virtually unfettered access to financial and personal information stored in siloed government databases.

The article from KPBS discusses a secretive government agency known as DOGE (Department of Governmental Efficiency), which has requested access to the U.S. government's most sensitive data. However, DOGE has not provided clear reasons for this need, leading to concerns about transparency and oversight. Critics argue that without a specified purpose, granting such access could pose significant security risks. The agency's vague responses to inquiries have only fueled speculation and debate about its intentions and the potential implications for national security. Meanwhile, supporters of DOGE claim that the agency's work is crucial for enhancing governmental operations, though they remain tight-lipped about the specifics, citing national security concerns.
