So there’s this app Dems are pushing called VoteWithMe and it’s creepy AF. It’s built by former Obama admin, Google and Amazon employees. If access every contact in your phone and shows their entire voting history and how they’re registered. It’s part of the “new data project”..

The privacy policy is: there is none. They admit to storing and sharing not only your contacts but they collect data “from and about” your device🤖Just sort of amazing considering the Cambridge Analytica outrage.

They claim over and over its “publicly available data” public where? It’s also pushed as completely for progressives so now anyone who has your number can target you based on your party registration @CivilRights @TheJusticeDept is this okay?

It’s a complete violation of privacy and a platform to intimidate voters. Sure they sell it as fun and hip but Republicans now get physically attacked. It’s lame and @TheDemocrats shouldn’t encourage it but who are we kidding, they WANT this.

According to the developers people should know our voting history is public information. 🤷🏼‍♀️
