An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Halt DOGE's reckless data centralization, enforce privacy protections

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

The centralization of vast amounts of sensitive personal data by DOGE poses grave risks to the privacy and security of millions of Americans. By disregarding established protocols for data sharing and protection, DOGE is creating an alarmingly vulnerable system ripe for exploitation by malicious actors. Rather than streamlining operations as claimed, this aggregation of information into a single hub violates core principles of cybersecurity and opens the door to potential breaches that could compromise Social Security numbers, medical records, employment histories, and other confidential data. Furthermore, DOGE's actions appear to circumvent legal requirements and public oversight mechanisms designed to safeguard civil liberties. The sweeping data collection lacks transparency, proper authorization, and adequate justification beyond vague assertions of fraud prevention and efficiency gains. This unchecked accumulation of personal information raises concerns about potential misuse for unintended purposes, undermining public trust in government institutions. Urgent action is needed to halt DOGE's reckless pursuit of centralized data storage and restore robust privacy protections. Congress must intervene to enforce adherence to established data-sharing protocols, mandate comprehensive security measures, and ensure strict oversight and accountability mechanisms are in place. The risks posed by DOGE's actions are simply too grave to ignore, jeopardizing the fundamental rights and digital safety of the American people. Decisive action is required to uphold the rule of law, safeguard civil liberties, and protect the sanctity of personal data from unauthorized access or exploitation.
