My area has been selected as a testing ground for a new census. Estimated completion time is forty (40) minutes and a response is "required by law". Given the length of time required to complete it, I can only imagine how invasive the questions will likely be.
All answers are "confidential", but given the recent DOGE data breeches of our personal information, I am very leery of disclosing much beyond the bare minimum, as you can imagine.
Should I refuse to complete the questionnaire, a representative could be summoned to my abode for in-person information collection. At the moment, I am considering only answering questions I'm comfortable with, but beyond that, I'm reluctant to divulge intimate details of my existence.
What is the best way to respond to this situation?
