Privacy advocates and labor groups, through a lawsuit, are demanding that DOGE be barred from accessing sensitive government worker data, alleging violations of the Privacy Act of 1974. This lawsuit, initiated by the Electronic Frontier Foundation on behalf of labor unions and employees, claims the Trump-era DOGE unlawfully accessed sensitive worker information before the staff were acknowledged as employees. The groups are seeking to prevent DOGE from maintaining access to this information and demanding the destruction of any acquired copies, emphasizing the potential risk to millions of federal employees' privacy.
The Trump administration breached a federal privacy law by allowing DOGE staff access to sensitive information on government workers, jeopardizing their privacy rights.
Workers' sensitive information was compromised as DOGE staff accessed OPM networks without being considered official employees, raising concerns from privacy advocates.
