West Virginia law enforcement sues data broker for publishing personal information online

A class action lawsuit alleges that Whitepages illegally published personal information (home addresses and phone numbers) of West Virginia law enforcement personnel in violation of the state’s Daniel’s Law, echoing New Jersey’s similar protections. The report outlines expanding state efforts to shield judges and law enforcement from doxxing, notes Maryland’s more limited approach, and references broader enforcement moves such as Atlas Data Privacy’s lawsuits in New Jersey. It also alludes to major data exposure events, underscoring momentum for stronger privacy protections against data broker practices.
