PAST EVENT

Into the Breach: Exposing Musk’s Illegal Assault on the Privacy Rights of All Americans

10 Feb. 2:00 PM EDT

John Davisson, EPIC Director of Litigation, will be participating in a virtual panel discussion hosted by Free Press entitled: “Into the Breach: Exposing Musk’s Illegal Assault on the Privacy Rights of All Americans.” John will be joined by Vittoria Elliott, reporter for WIRED; Lisa Gilbert, co-president at Public Citizen; and Jenna Ruddock, Advocacy Director at Free Press (moderator).

Event Description: Over the past two weeks, unelected billionaire Elon Musk has set in motion what may be the largest data breach in U.S. history. Going from one federal agency to the next, Musk and his loosely defined “Department of Government Efficiency” team have accessed classified information, millions of Americans’ sensitive personal and financial data, and the Treasury Department systems that control everything from Social Security payments to tax refunds.

Join our panelists from WIRED, Public Citizen, and the Electronic Privacy Information Center to discuss the unprecedented data-security crisis resulting from the Musk assault on our federal government.
