EFF Sues OPM, DOGE and Musk for Endangering the Privacy of Millions
Lawsuit Argues Defendants Violated the Privacy Act by Disclosing Sensitive Data https://www.eff.org/press/releases/eff-sues-opm-doge-and-musk-endangering-privacy-millions “The Privacy Act makes it unlawful for OPM Defendants to hand over access to OPM’s millions of personnel records to DOGE Defendants, who lack a lawful and legitimate need for such access,” the complaint says. “No exception to the Privacy Act covers DOGE Defendants’ access to records held by OPM. OPM Defendants’ action granting DOGE Defendants full, continuing, and ongoing access to OPM’s systems and files for an unspecified period means that tens of millions of federal-government employees, retirees, contractors, job applicants, and impacted family members and other third parties have no assurance that their information will receive the protection that federal law affords.”
