A coalition led by We Are CASA filed a complaint with the Maryland Attorney General to investigate data brokers for allegedly violating the Maryland Data Privacy Act by selling residents' geolocation, personal, and vehicle data to law enforcement and ICE without warrants.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cybersecurity.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Maryland's enforcement against illegal data broker sales to ICE opens a legal battleground and may freeze a key revenue stream for these companies. You need to reassess compliance policies now if you handle sensitive location or personal data and plan market strategies as state-level privacy rules harden.
