25 orgs sign

Privacy advocates and civil liberties groups are pushing the White House to accept public comments during its review of big data and the future of privacy as prescribed by President Obama in recent speeches.

The petition, delivered today to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, was signed by the Electronic Privacy Information Center, the ACLU, the Center for Digital Democracy, Free Press, Consumer Watchdog, and 20 other privacy and public interest groups. It calls for the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy to consider a number of issues, including whether current laws are adequate to protect consumer privacy and how companies and government agencies could be more transparent in the use of big data.
