People conforming to the letter, but not the spirit, of a request. For now, this includes text posts, images, videos and links. Please ensure that the “malicious compliance” aspect is apparent - if you’re making a text post, be sure to explain this part; if it’s an image/video/link, use the “Body” field to elaborate.

My usual response to this kind of bureaucracy is to go to a local print shop, have it printed, then put it in a box and mail it in.
I might have to try the fax option next time.
I'm surprised the SSA don't have an option to mark you as permanently disabled. We have that in the VA system. It's not like someone's blown off leg is going to regrow.

What the fuck...? As someone with a circadian rhythm disorder I didn't know things could get any more fucking bleak. Parks, libraries, stores, doctors are all closed, but fucking WEBSITES?? Christ.
Because otherwise the employees would have to stay up all night turning the Internet crank!
Most faxes these days are unencrypted.
If you know how to eavesdrop, faxes are less secure than google to google email. Or if you need to be certain you zip encrypted the file, send it over, and then call with the password... Or fax the password.
Google email reads all your mail and sells what it finds to advertisers.
The encrypted zip could work as long as the filenames don't reveal anything. Google looks in encrypted zips and reads the filenames (which aren't encrypted).
Our government is run by Vogons
To be fair, ALL governments are run by Vogons.
Dammit, I thought it was infiltrated by the Pleiadians
Nah, the evidence is clear, all the speeches are terrible poetry.

But that would require updating existing legacy systems, and official bodies often aren't incentivised to orchestrate that
