To Congress, the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Trade Commission:

The latest hack of T-Mobile data reveals just how poorly companies are doing at protecting the massive amounts of personal data they possess. Market forces are failing — it’s long overdue for our government to help protect people’s privacy rights.

We call on Congress to pass federal privacy legislation this year and we urge the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Trade Commission to use their authorities to safeguard data privacy through rulemaking processes and other enforcement actions.

    Hands Off My Data

    Urge the Government to Protect Your Online Privacy

    The latest T-Mobile hack is the eighth major hack in the company’s history — and the second one in just two years.1

    Whether it’s reckless security practices or the excessive collection of our personal information, companies are vacuuming up our personal information without any concern about the consequences. And these companies are able to do this because there’s weak —sometimes nonexistent — federal oversight.

    That needs to change. Add your name to our petition calling on Congress, the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Trade Commission to safeguard everyone’s privacy.
