DOGE and the Privacy Act
Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have been accessing government computer data systems that hold the personal data of every American. They have been hiding behind evasions and misrepresentations to avoid coming clean to the American people about the data they are collecting and what they are doing with it. Read more about it here and send in a request for your information. The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has issued an injunction commanding DOGE to comply with citizen requests under the Freedom of Information Act, which includes the Federal Privacy Act of 1974. The law allows every American to hold our government to account and to demand to know what data the government has about us. Click here to learn more.
