I would love to see some exact examples of what you are citing. The
SSN is a keystone item in creating an identity. At the moment there is
no way a business or individual can identify if a proffered SSN is
legitimate or not.
I don't see how redacting or restricting the use of SSN is destroying
our culture and our society.
