About this listen

For more than 30 years, the Electronic Privacy Information Center has been advocating for—and litigating to protect—personal privacy against increasing technological encroachment. No surprise, then, that the folks at EPIC were alarmed when it became clear that DOGE staff were seeking access—for unclear purposes—to an array of highly sensitive and normally stringently siloed federal databases. They filed a lawsuit in February challenging that access under the Privacy Act of 1974, and a host of other federal privacy statutes.

This episode, EPIC’s Senior Counsel and Director of Litigation John Davisson joins us to explain their challenge, why they believe DOGE’s efforts run afoul of federal law, and why you ought to care about it.
