Tell Beacon Hill: Don't Let ICE Buy Our Data
The Massachusetts House may be taking up a data privacy bill as soon as this month.
Recent reporting has shown that ICE has been buying up cell phone location data in order to follow people from work or home. Currently, no laws prevent data brokers from buying and selling our sensitive data, like location data, on the open market. Strengthening our data privacy protections is essential.
Back in September, the Massachusetts Senate passed a robust data privacy bill that would prevent the purchase and sale of such sensitive data, along with other important measures to strengthen privacy rights.
Now it's the House's turn.
Big Tech companies like Facebook and Google, which have been buddying up to the Trump administration, are lobbying to water down the bill. Your state rep needs to hear from YOU about the importance of getting a strong bill passed as soon as possible.
Can you call or email your state rep today in support of passing strong data privacy legislation this month?
