Isn't that about 10x as many citizens as the US has? Was this written by ChatGPT?

365 million total population and 2.9 billion US citizens granted that many are living outside. But there's no way there are 2.9 billion anyways. Regardless it cannot be aliens hahaha. Anyways, I will put an n to this company. I promise you I will make you suffer so much in the courtrooms and give such a big lawsuit that you will cry your blood out

&gt; National public data breach exposes sensitive information of 2.9 billion U.S. citizens<p>*scratches head*<p>The estimated US population is 336,828,526.[0] Granted, not everyone within US borders is a citizen, and many live elsewhere, but it&#x27;s nowhere near 2.9 billion. It&#x27;s certainly more accurate than conflating citizens with records of citizens.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.census.gov&#x2F;popclock&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.census.gov&#x2F;popclock&#x2F;</a>

It&#x27;s 2.9 billion <i>records</i> according to the article and other articles about the breach. The title of the article is wrong.
