EPIC Gives Obama Administration Mixed Grades for Privacy
EPIC released the Privacy Report Card for the Obama Administration at a morning briefing held at the National Press Club. EPIC gave the Administration an “Incomplete” for Consumer Privacy, A- for Medical Privacy, C+ for Civil Liberties, and a B for Cyber Security. Privacy Coalition members participating in the event included US PIRG, Consumer Federation of America, the Liberty Coalition, Association of American Physicians and, Surgeons, and the Bill of Rights Defense Committee. In December 2008, the Privacy Coalition urged the new Administration to address growing public concerns about privacy protection. EPIC's Consumer Privacy Issue Page.
