What the shit happened to freedom of information act? Now we not only have to sacrifice our privacy to some 3rd party contractor but I must also create a fucking account in order to access information our government provides? Fuck that shit. I'm just guna make a throwaway account. Scrape the fucking site dry and upload the shit to my own website. Fuck them.
Now we not only have to sacrifice our privacy to some 3rd party contractor
No. It's run by the government itself. https://www.gsa.gov/. Nothing about this is 3rd party.
Edit: There was a push at one point to connect to a site called ID.ME... THAT was a disaster. Login.gov is good IMO... Must better than the alternative.
I misunderstood the paragraph that says something about the site being monitored by the government or its contractors as meaning the site was made not monitored by a government contractor. My b.
Login.gov is GSA not some random company. Nor is USTIC. Better get used to it.
Far far better than random logins all over the government and it's being used more every year.
You need login.gov for all sorts of shit now. It’s also not a third party it’s part of General Services Administration.
Login.gov is actually pretty good. Used it for my TSA Pre long ago. I want to say in like 2017 or so. It supported RFC 6238 TOTP very early, especially for a government site.
Can recommend https://burner.kiwi/ for bullshit like this
Login.gov requires KYC like authentication, as in upload a drivers license or do a video call and show your passport. It’s the official federal government login thing, I’m familiar with it from VA / GI bill stuff.
Yea this particular site is a legit one. I've had to use login.gov while working for the government if you want to access federal information get used to this.
On one hand, I realize that the office may be required by law to restrict certain information, so I see why they may need to know with certainty who they're giving it to.
On the other hand, all of that user account info is going straight to Elon Musk on January 20th, so I agree that it sucks.
Why would "free US trade and tariff data" have any legitimate need for that?
I was also thinking this could also be contesting the legislation for the freedom of information act by requiring a citizen of the US to own or possess a computer, smart phone or email address. The dept that runs FOIL offers the ability to request information by phone or email whereas this site does not. But I haven't looked into any of this so I'm prolly 100% wrong. I don't even remember if FOIL is federal or NY state ran program.
It is really frustrating to me that data which is supposedly public cannot be simply downloaded all together as a large dataset, instead you have to go through a convoluted process to access only a narrow subset of it
