Anybody surprised???
In an attempt to present himself as transparent, tech savvy, and approachable, Jeb Bush may have unintentionally violated the privacy of thousands of former Florida constituents.
But a quick peek at the broader Bush email archives reveals that Jeb’s document dump wasn’t handled with care at all.
“Some are funny; some are serious; some I wrote in frustration,” Bush wrote in an introduction to the emails on his website. Some detail government operations and hiring procedures. And some contain the unredacted phone numbers, home addresses, and even—as The Verge first pointed out— the social security numbers of the people who emailed him. Every published email includes the email addresses of the recipient and the sender.
