Technology on Trial: DOGE, AI Threats, and NATO’s New Fronts
Federal Court Restricts DOGE's Access to Treasury Payment Systems Following a lawsuit filed by advocacy groups and unions, a federal court has temporarily limited the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) access to the U.S. Treasury's payment systems. The court order restricts DOGE's access to read-only privileges for two specific aides, Tom Krause and Marko Elez, who were appointed as special government employees within the Treasury Department. This decision comes amid concerns over DOGE's intrusion into sensitive systems, including those containing millions of Americans' personal and financial data. The lawsuit alleges that DOGE's access violated privacy protections, prompting the court to intervene to safeguard individual privacy rights. The Register. (2025, February 6).
