The ACLU is pursuing transparency concerning what information the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has accessed regarding citizens' personal data, following a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request made in February. They are suing the Social Security Administration and the Department of Veterans Affairs for non-responsiveness. The ACLU's request aims to discover if DOGE has accessed databases containing personally identifiable information and if AI tools are being employed for data analysis. Concerns arise due to the group's ties to Elon Musk and potential unauthorized access to sensitive information.
The federal government cannot dodge accountability by ignoring our lawful demands for transparency, the American people have an urgent need to know if their private records are being illegally accessed.
Elon Musk's group, DOGE, has been cutting jobs across federal agencies, raising concerns over unvetted access to sensitive government data and potential circumvention of legal safeguards.
