An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Stop the Mobile Fortify app from stealing our info.

4 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

I am deeply concerned about the Mobil Fortify APP that I read about in the linked article from the ACLU. It states that the app can allow the agent to"point a phone at anyone in public, compare their faces against a variety of government databases containing 200 million images, and get instant access to their name, date of birth, and a potentially deep well of intimate data contained within those databases. It also allows the contactless collection of fingerprints." This is all without your consent. "All of this raises the chances that any of us or our children, other family members, friends, or neighbors will find themselves being photographed by one of these federal officers and suffering who-knows-what consequences due to some false match or database error." I request that you investigate how this technology is being used, how the data is stored, who has access to the app and data, etc. While technology can be a great tool, not when it is being used secretly for surveillance on the American people and then used to prosecute them.
