Georgia bill bolsters privacy
Atlanta Journal-Constitution - April 3, 2012
Last week’s passage of a revised Georgia Sunshine Law now blocks political campaigns, marketers and almost anyone else from access to residents’ email addresses on file with local governments. These lists have become a potential gold mine for political candidates, according to Ed Rigdon of the Department of Marketing. “You take something like this, people who express an interest, it suggests that they’re an activist,” he said. “It suggests they might be a conduit, where if you get information to them, it’s not just them, but they’ll spread it around the neighborhood.”
