The U.S. House of Representatives passed a major transparency measure by voice vote tonight. This amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act, offered by Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-CA) and Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH), will require the Department of Defense to report the number of times it purchases the internet browsing and phone location data of Americans from private data brokers. The report will also include a general accounting of how the government uses this information.
PPSA commends Reps. Jacobs and Davidson on their steady leadership and articulate advocacy. Tonight’s success should provide momentum for the passage of the Fourth Amendment Is Not for Sale Act. Comments are closed.
