When DOGE employees break the law, their names should not be secret. In the Privacy Act lawsuit against DOGE and the Office of Personnel Management, EFF helped unseal the names of employees at the center of the violations. Read yesterday's Court opinion. www.eff.org/files/2026/...

If you’re serious about prioritizing people over profit, pass a comprehensive consumer data privacy law that protects everyone from exploitive corporate surveillance.

So it seems there's a push, again, by Congress to set an expiration date for Section 230 for the purposes of forcing reform-that is, accept reform in the next X months or lose it completely. And by "accept reform," Congress almost always, probably always, means THE BIG TECH PLATFORMS. 2 fallacies:

Online age verification isn't like showing ID at a bar. It's more invasive, affects far more transactions, and poses serious privacy, security, and free speech risks that in-person checks never do. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

If the goal of the TikTok ban is to send a message to China, what this law really says is that our people easily succumb to Chinese influence and the U.S. government is terrified of China's ability to dupe us all.

And even worse, I only heard Justice Gorsuch call out the government's position as casting everyone as being so helpless as to require the government's paternalism.

Post-TikTok argument, I continue to be disturbed at how infantilizing the law and government arguments in support of it are. The government thinks so little of us and other institutions (a free press for one) that it has to ban an entire social media service.
