🤑 #Big_Tax_Prep Shared #Sensitive_Data With #Meta and #Google, Congress Says
Congress released a highly anticipated #report on Wednesday detailing how #major_tax_prep_companies and #big_tech firms like #Google and #Meta, parent of #Facebook and #Instagram, #RECKLESSLY #SHARED the #SENSITIVE #tax_data of #tens of #millions of #Americans #without proper #safeguards. 💂
The senators cited #evidence from their report in a fiery letter to the #IRS, #FTC, #DOJ, and #Treasury_Inspector_General, whom they urged to fully investigate the matter and to prosecute companies found to have violated tax laws.
“The findings of this report reveal a #SHOCKING_BREACH of #TAXPAYER_PRIVACY by tax prep companies and by Big Tech firms that appeared to #violate_taxpayers’ #rights and may have violated #taxpayer_privacy_law,” Sens. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Richard Richard Blumenthal, Ron Wyden, Tammy Duckworth, Sheldon Whitehouse, and Rep. Katie Porter said in the letter.
The new 54-page report builds off of a November investigation by The Verge and The Markup which detailed the ways H&R Block, #TaxAct, and #TaxSlayer used a service called #Meta_Pixel to share taxpayer #data with #Facebook and #Instagram. That data was then #used to #serve_targeted_ads and feed Meta’s #algorithms. TaxAct also reportedly sent similar data to #Google through its analytics tool, though names were not included.
