THE FRONTIER OF PRIVACY

THE FRONTIER OF PRIVACY

People on the western frontier have long cherished the freedom wide-open spaces affords and the right to simply be left alone. But as new frontiers of technology have emerged, so have new threats to these western values.

THE MISSION

Frontier of Privacy is an initiative to preserve the individual rights of all Montanans in the new frontiers opened by technology.

Frontier of Privacy will shine a light on government use of Montanan’s digital and biometric information and clear the path for reforms that balance protecting the rights of individuals while encouraging an environment of permissionless innovation.
