Your precise location data – showing which doctor’s office you visited last month, which NO KINGS rallies you’ve attended, and when and where you drop your kids off every day – is currently for sale on the open market. The shadowy collection and processing of your data by Big Tech and data brokers consistently exposes your private life to bad actors, including Trump’s ICE — just one of many buyers of our precise geolocation data.

Five and half months ago, the Massachusetts State Senate passed a comprehensive data privacy bill, which included a ban on the sale of sensitive data, like location data, health care information, immigration status, biometric data, and more.

Three months ago, the House passed its own bill out of committee.

Big Tech companies like Facebook and Google, which have been buddying up to the Trump administration, have spent those three months lobbying the House to water down the bill. They have spent a lot already and are ready to spend more.

We need to make sure that they don’t succeed.

Can you email your state rep to stress the importance of passing a strong data privacy bill?

If you’ve emailed recently, it’s a good time follow up with a call. Find your state rep’s phone number here.
