Demand a full investigation into the National Design Studio, a White House office staffed by Doge veterans that has been secretly harvesting Americans' personal data in violation of federal law. The NDS operated session-recording software on four federal websites — capable of capturing every click, scroll, and keystroke — while publishing none of the privacy notices required under the Privacy Act of 1974 or the E-Government Act of 2002. Legal experts at EPIC call this "a pretty clearcut violation of section 208." The tracking was deliberately configured to evade adblockers by routing data through official federal web addresses. This goes beyond a compliance failure. The NDS has built White House-controlled copies of Login.gov, used by 150 million Americans, and vote.gov, a site legally belonging to the independent Election Assistance Commission. State election directors have already raised serious concerns about the vote.gov takeover. None of the NDS's spending appears in USAspending, the federal contracting database. The White House only removed the tracking software after a journalist asked about it. That is not compliance — that is getting caught. Joe Gebbia, Akash Bobba, and the rest of the NDS leadership must be called before Congress to answer for this. Americans deserve to know exactly what data was collected, where it went, and who had access to it.
