Electronic Frontier FoundationBREAKING: We are suing DOGE and the Office of Personnel Management to stop the brazen and illegal data sharing of federal employee data with the “government efficiency” group. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/02/eff-sues-doge-and-office-personnel-management-halt-ransacking-federal-data
EFF Sues DOGE and the Office of Personnel Management to Halt Ransacking of Federal Data
EFF and a coalition of privacy defenders have filed a lawsuit asking a federal court to block Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing the private information of millions of Americans that is stored by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and to delete any data that has been collected or removed from databases thus far.
Cathy GellisI'm still ruminating on whether Musk and DOGE might face personal liability under the CFAA. So I wrote about how the TRO issued in the State of NY v. Trump case (the one in SDNY) lends credence to the idea.

I don't know what's going on with America. I swear, if you look at the rest of the world you'll see I didn't make humans this dumb.
nullagentA group of neo-Nazis went to Cincinnati Ohio this week to wave Nazi flags off of highway overpasses.
Only problem is they did this in a Black neighborhood that's had enough of their hateful bullshit.
Police were unwilling or unable to keep the crowd of pissed off Black Americans from running off the Nazis.

A federal court has declared that warrantless searches of US person’s communications collected for national security purposes is unconstitutional. Now it’s our job to make sure Congress knows that when they renew this law in a little over a year. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/01/victory-federal-court-finally-rules-backdoor-searches-702-data-unconstitutional
VICTORY! Federal Court (Finally) Rules Backdoor Searches of 702 Data Unconstitutional
In a landmark ruling, a federal district court held that backdoor searches of databases full of Americans’ private communications collected under Section 702 ordinarily require a warrant. Congress should uphold its responsibility to protect civil rights and civil liberties by refusing to renew Section 702 absent a number of necessary reforms.
Started my #fediverse journey on #Lemmy, and figured its time to branch out and learn how this all works. Appreciate everyone that has been providing helpful tips!
404 MediaThe last few weeks have really highlighted just how fragile corporate social media is, and just how beholden to political power it is. To build any sort of ground-up power we must continue to invest in decentralized alternatives that are resistant to intervention
