What legal protections exist against the federal government if your personal data gets revealed?
There are laws that require the government to treat personal data with utmost care and privacy. If data leaks occur, individuals have legal recourse through civil suits and potentially criminal charges if information was released negligently or irresponsibly. While enforcement may vary, these laws establish protections for citizens whose personal information might be compromised. The legal framework is designed to safeguard privacy rights while still allowing legitimate fraud prevention efforts to continue, as has been the practice across both Democratic and Republican administrations.
