Seems like we should stop treating SSN user id like a password

SSN is current the _defacto_, unplanned, person ID and somehow also password. I agree this is insane. A National ID, that is designed to more strongly prove ID and also designed to be used as a secure form of Authentication for Authorization services... THAT is what I'd really love politicians to approve. I'm currently in the process of upgrading my enhanced ID drivers license to a Passport (done) and then applying f…

If you control the search engines you can just make it hard to find.

For a private OSINT investigator, sure. But a state-level actor (ie: the sort of groups that the CIA is supposed to butts heads with) could easily maintain their own mirrors. Hell, if you have a few dozen terabytes of disk space you can download the entire plaintext archive of Reddit comments from Pushshift, regardless of if they've been deleted or not. And that's something a private citizen can do spending a couple…

Unless this recently change it is also standard practice in the military to write your SSN on your checks and show your SSN which is on your military ID to anyone at the BX/PX. We had to say our SSN every time visiting the chow hall.

The most important recruiting information is missing. You have to be a full-blown fascist, and you have to keep up with your lies. Never tell the truth. All the books by Ex-CIA confirm this.
