| The ruling to overturn Roe has jeopardized ALL privacy-based rights. Tell Congress to pass the Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act and protect our privacy rights from government entities.
Friend—
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, we need to move fast to protect everyone’s right to privacy.
Right now data brokers have access to unprecedented amounts of information about us — what we do, where we go, and with whom is in the hands of tech companies and brokers that are all too willing to sell this data to the highest bidder.
This includes law-enforcement agencies — and they don’t even need a warrant. By exploiting a legal loophole, authorities can purchase all kinds of information about you, from location data to your browsing and search history.
As states across the country are rapidly outlawing abortion, we have to stop private companies from selling information to law enforcement — like the location data of people visiting abortion clinics.
Here’s the good news: The Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act has bipartisan support and would close this loophole and make it illegal for private data brokers to sell our information to law enforcement.
Tell your members of Congress to pass the Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act to close this loophole and protect our data privacy.
Agencies ranging from the IRS and the Drug Enforcement Administration to the FBI and Customs and Border Protection have all alleged that they can lawfully avoid the constitutional requirement for probable-cause warrants by simply buying our personal information from commercial data brokers. That information can also be used to target people by their activities, associations and beliefs.
The ruling to overturn Roe has jeopardized all privacy-based rights. It’s critical that we work fast to pass the Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act so that we can get the government’s #HandsOffMyData.
In solidarity,
Candace and the rest of the Free Press Action team

P.S. Federal agencies can buy all kinds of information about us without a warrant. In the post-Roe era this couldn’t be more dangerous. Urge Congress to protect everyone’s privacy by passing the Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act.  |
