New bill could prohibit infamous ‘pink slime’ sites from publishing any more voter registration data

Posted in:

* Background is here if you need it. From the elections omnibus bill

Voter registration records or data shall not be used for any personal, private, or commercial purpose, including, but not limited to, the intimidation, threat, or deception of any person or the advertising, solicitation, sale, or marketing of products or services. The State Board of Elections shall deny a request made under this subsection to any person or entity that is the subject of a court order finding a violation of this subsection.

As we’ve already discussed, the attorney general has sued Local Government Information Services over their publishing of the data.

I’m still looking through the omnibus bill. Have you found anything?

  1. Would have been better if the last 3 words of the headline were gone.

  2. I’d love to see Timpone’s other data mining site, Blockshopper, shut down as well due to not having a way to opt out from their database like every other broker and aggregator. Like with BIPA’s original structure (that is unfortunately about to change), this is an area where Illinois can lead by requiring data brokers to allow for opt-out.

  3. Speakin’of pink slime CommandoIves repeated the misinformation concerning the renaming of desperadoes in one bill AND then claimed the seizure of the tribal land (which is about to be returned) was alleged” very smooth
