Recent court rulings have significantly impacted the access of DOGE team members to sensitive information within various US government departments. A judge has relaxed previous bans, allowing certain members of the DOGE team to access critical data from the Treasury Department and other agencies. This has raised concerns among privacy advocates, especially in light of ongoing lawsuits related to privacy laws. While some restrictions remain, the appeals court has reinstated access for specific DOGE staff, facilitating the collection of personal data. The implications of these legal decisions continue to unfold as DOGE navigates its relationship with governmental data privacy.
