Letter Rejecting Amendments to ADPPA
July 13, 2023Urging the rejection of any amendments to ADPPA that would permit law enforcement to sidestep constitutional protections by purchasing Americans' private data
Recent reports suggest that lawmakers are considering changes to the proposed American Data Privacy and Protection Act (ADPPA) that would exempt data brokers who provide services to law enforcement agencies. These proposed changes would dramatically infringe upon the civil liberties of Americans, providing law enforcement with tools for surveillance and prosecution without the need for a warrant or due process. We urge you to reject any amendment to the ADPPA that would permit law enforcement to sidestep constitutional protections by purchasing Americans’ private data.
