EFF to Grindr: This Pride Month, Put Safety and Privacy Over Profits
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/grindr-put-queer-safety-and-privacy-over-profits
This Pride month, we’re calling on the dating app Grindr to prioritize LGBTQ+ user safety by making privacy the default across its platform. That means no more sharing personal data with advertisers or training AI on private information without users’ opt-in consent.
Hate “The Algorithm?” RSS Is One of the Tools You’ve Been Looking For
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/hate-algorithm-rss-one-tools-youve-been-looking
Since at least the moment Facebook introduced (and apologized for) its News Feed, “the algorithm” has been shorthand for the ways the tech giants control what we see and when we see it. In the age of enshittification, there is a push to reclaim our feeds and networks. Good news: there’s a tool that’s been around for decades that can help wrangle many of your feeds into something manageable: Really Simple Syndication, more commonly known as RSS.
Lawmakers Must Act Now to Prevent Armed Police Drones
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/lawmakers-must-act-now-prevent-armed-police-drones
#Street-LevelSurveillance
This is not science fiction. It’s not premature. If towns, cities, states, or the federal government want to act to reign in the emergence of armed police drones and robots, we have precious little time. In the absence of substantial regulation around when and how domestic law enforcement in the...
We Can Still Stop California’s 3D Printer Surveillance Scheme
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/we-can-still-stop-californias-3d-printer-surveillance-scheme
#Creativity&Innovation #Competition #Privacy
Ignoring EFF’s warnings about the dangers and impossibility of implementing a new mandate for 3D print surveillance software, the California State Assembly has signed off on legislation to do just that. In the process, legislators amended the bill to make it even more confusing, while failing to address the risks to privacy, speech, and consumer rights. We must renew our call on legislators to drop this bill as it heads to the state senate, and protect the tools of creators in the state.
Primed for Malware: Stop Selling Compromised Android Devices
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/primed-malware-stop-selling-compromised-android-devices
Time and time again, researchers have found numerous compromised Android devices for sale at large online retailers like Amazon. When these devices get individually reported, we have seen some noted efforts to take them down. But this is a systemic problem and Amazon and other major online...

Four Years After Dobbs, Anti-Abortion Lawmakers Keep Coming for Online Speech
This week marks four years since Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization overturned Roe v. Wade’s constitutional protections for people seeking abortion care. Anniversaries are a moment to take stock, and over the last four years, EFF has seen firsthand how digital rights and reproductive...
The FCC’s Spam Call Proposal Is Just a Data Collection Scheme
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/fccs-spam-call-proposal-just-data-collection-scheme
The Federal Communications Commission wants to require telecommunications providers to collect vast amounts of personal information from every person who wants a phone number in the name of combatting scam and spam calls. This plan will fail to combat the deluge of unwanted calls people in the...
Are Your Local Police Using Flock Safety ALPRs to Scan for Immigrants?
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/are-your-local-police-using-flock-safety-alprs-scan-immigrants
#Street-LevelSurveillance
When a car passes an automated license plate reader (ALPR), its plate is captured and instantly compared against a list of vehicles that police are actively looking for or that police have identified for real-time surveillance. These are called “hotlists,” and EFF has learned that one used by...
The KIDS Act Would Require Age Checks To Get Online
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/kids-act-would-require-age-checks-get-online
Buried inside the KIDS Act are provisions that will push online services to verify all users’ ages, require government-directed moderation policies for online speech, and even create new rules about private and encrypted communications. While supporters continue to claim this bill protects minors online, its requirements come at the expense of privacy, free expression, and the ability of people of all ages to use the internet without revealing sensitive data.
