Harris Campaign Texts Spark Privacy Controversy

News summary

The Harris campaign's mass texting to Arizona college students urging voter registration has sparked controversy over privacy concerns. Arizona Republicans and some students have questioned how the campaign accessed their contact information, with accusations of illegal use of personally identifiable information (PII). The universities and the Arizona Board of Regents have stated that the information was obtained legally under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which allows the release of 'directory information' unless students opt out. They emphasize that the data is public record and routinely accessed by various organizations. Despite this, Republican state Sen. Jake Hoffman has raised concerns about what he sees as a breach of privacy and potential election interference, prompting a state Senate investigation into the matter.
