This week, the U.S. House is set to vote on three bills that would permanently formalize the DOGE playbook, risking the privacy and liberty of every American for the sake of unproven fraud prevention methods.
The bills would consolidate massive amounts of personal information at Treasury and let the Agency automatically analyze that information, investigate individuals, and stop or segment payments from the federal programs on which many Americans rely without much more than a hunch of wrongdoing.
New York’s Legislature passed a surveillance pricing ban, strengthening its transparency bill from last year. EPIC urges Gov. Kathy Hochul to sign this important legislation.
One of the bills already passed the House this week, and the other two are under consideration.
EPIC opposed these bills when they were introduced, and we oppose them now. Americans should not have to check their rights at the door to access vital public assistance.
