The California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) issued a record fine earlier this month to Tractor Supply, the country’s self-proclaimed largest “rural lifestyle” retailer, for apparently ducking its responsibilities under the California Consumer Privacy Act. Under that law, companies are required...

“OpenAI is very seriously underestimating people’s creativity when it comes to harassment,” EFF’s @evacide told the Washington Post. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/10/07/sora-cameo-deepfake-consent/

Friends took my face with the viral Sora app. I laughed. Then I got scared.

Lost in the wave of LOLs over OpenAI’s new Sora app is what it actually feels like to lose control of your own face.

Nearly 100 submissions from reproductive rights advocates around the world paint a clear picture of censorship in action: abortion content is being removed, restricted, and silenced by platforms at an alarming rate. https://www.eff.org/pages/stopcensoringabortion-what-we-learned-and-where-we-go-here#main-content

#StopCensoringAbortion: What We Learned and Where We Go From Here

When we launched Stop Censoring Abortion, our goals were to understand how social media platforms were silencing abortion-related content, gather data and lift up stories of censorship, and hold social media companies accountable for the harm they have caused to the reproductive rights movement.

Newly obtained documents confirm what law enforcement and Flock Safety tried to deny: A Texas sheriff’s office used license plate readers while investigating a woman’s self-managed abortion, not to find a “missing person." https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/10/flock-safety-and-texas-sheriff-claimed-license-plate-search-was-missing-person-it

Flock Safety and Texas Sheriff Claimed License Plate Search Was for a Missing Person. It Was an Abortion Investigation.

New documents and court records obtained by EFF show that Texas deputies queried Flock Safety's surveillance data in an abortion investigation, contradicting the narrative promoted by the company and the Johnson County Sheriff that she was “being searched for as a missing person,” and that “it was about her safety.” The new information shows that deputies had initiated a "death investigation" of a "non-viable fetus," collected evidence of a woman’s self-managed abortion, and consulted prosecutors about possibly charging her.
