We're outta the belly of the beast, too. People don't realize SS is 100% voluntary, you don't need to sign up, tho the 'world' has gone along with the agenda and it's difficult to negotiate without the number. (but it can be done, with consequences like not having any relationship with a bank)
The voluntary nature is why someone was able to sue Taco Bell and win, the issue being they asked for a SSN. They removed the question for a time, and IIRC later replaced it with a note that it's not required data.
The plaintiff had been turned down and the reason given was the application was incomplete, without a SSN. He successfully argued that since the program is voluntary, it can't be a cause of restraint.
Still, our ISP alone makes up for any lack of our voluntarily coughing up data. I also have a youtube account. The result I'm sure is that the powers that be are satisfied they have enough of a finger on us.
Once cameras and facial recognition are widespread, including on board drone aircraft, it'll be Star Trek (NG) tracking, without need of a com badge.
