Comments on SSA requiring text messaging to access online accounts If you're interested in following more on the controversy regarding the Social Security Administration requiring that anyone who wants continued access to their SSA online account *must* be able to receive text messages, my Friday post on this topic has now attracted almost 30 comments, many from SSA users who discovered that the requirement is already in place and have not been able to make it work.
https://lauren.vortex.com/2016/07/ssa-cutting-off-users-who-cant-receive-text-messages Comments on my blog are an experiment with which I'm (so far) fairly satisfied. All comments are moderated before publication, and all from real people have been suitable for publication. There is also an increasing volume of spam comment submissions -- if these get out of hand I may need to reevaluate, but right now they are tolerable. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): https://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: https://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: https://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: https://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: https://lauren.vortex.com Google+: https://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: https://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone. _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list https://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
