Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been blocked from accessing certain personal data.
The ruling comes as a survey revealed 3 in 4 Americans oppose DOGE’s actions.
How DOGE and the U.S. government will respond is unclear.
But what is clear is no organization should have this much freedom to access our personal data.
The restraining order is in place until 10 March, but opposition is expected to continue.
1,000 respondents were surveyed and 61% said they were aware of DOGE’s actions before taking the survey.
27% said it made no impact and 15% said it made them trust the government more.
