WASHINGTON, DC – Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) and Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) today issued the following statement in response to the Biden Administration's data broker executive order.
“Americans’ privacy rights cannot be secured when governments around the world can buy our sensitive health data, location data, biometric data, and financial data. The U.S. government is circumventing the 4th Amendment and our right to privacy by purchasing these same types of data. The Biden Administration cannot pretend to support Americans’ privacy rights while undermining them in the U.S. by opposing closing the data broker loophole domestically. This Administration must support the Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act and ensure the federal government is barred from any purchase of our data to circumvent a requirement for a warrant or subpoena,” said Reps. Davidson & Biggs.
The bipartisan Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act prevents the federal government from circumventing Americans' Fourth Amendment right to privacy by closing loopholes allowing the government to purchase Americans' data from big tech companies without a search warrant.
