Federal Workers Launch New Lawsuit to Fight DOGE’s Data Access

A group of federal workers has launched a new lawsuit in an effort to fight against the Department of Government Ethics (DOGE)’s access to their personal data. The workers claim that the access to their personal information by the DOGE violates their privacy rights and opens them up to potential security risks.

The lawsuit, filed in federal court, argues that the DOGE’s access to personal data, including financial information, social media accounts, and other personal information, is excessive and unnecessary for the agency to perform its duties. The workers are seeking to have the court prohibit the DOGE from accessing their personal data without their consent.

This new legal action comes amidst growing concerns about government agencies’ access to personal data and the potential for abuse of that information. The workers involved in the lawsuit hope to set a precedent for protecting the privacy rights of federal employees and ensuring that their personal data is treated with the utmost care and respect.
