White House Publishes Names, Emails, Phone Numbers, Home Addresses of Critics

People who spoke up about their concerns over privacy suddenly found key private details, including their email and sometimes even home addresses, released by none other than President Donald Trump’s administration. The presidential commission charged with investigating alleged fraud that has been plagued by controversy from the start published a 112-page document of unredacted emails of public comment on its work, which to no surprise are largely negative of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity. When it published the comments, the White House didn’t remove any of the personal information, meaning many of the comments are accompanied by personal details of the person who wrote it.

“This cavalier attitude toward the public's personal information is especially concerning given the commission's request for sensitive data on every registered voter in the country,” Theresa Lee, a staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union's Voting Rights Project, said. Lee was referring to the way the commission sent a letter to all the states requesting lots of personal information about voters. At least 45 states refused to hand over all the requested data.

the white house just doxxed a bunch of citizens to suppress dissent

phone numbers and addresses are intentionally not censored https://t.co/pjv07M8IxA — ｄｒｅｗ⎝(´•ω•)⎠🌹 (@EvenWeirderMove) July 14, 2017

Ironically enough, most of those who wrote in to the White House expressed concern about their personal information being made public. One person whose name and email address were published by the commission, for example, wrote: “DO NOT RELEASE ANY OF MY VOTER DATA PERIOD.”
