• EFF and three labor unions are suing the Trump administration over alleged surveillance of visa holders and green-card holders’ social-media activity, including use of AI/automated tools.
  • The lawsuit argues that monitoring and punishing people based on their political views violates the First Amendment and federal administrative law.
  • Major development: a federal judge rejected the government’s attempt to dismiss the case, ruling that the court can hear it and that the unions have legal standing to sue.
  • Next step: the lawsuit proceeds to discovery, where EFF expects to obtain more information about how the government’s surveillance program operates.

    So something is being done after all. They need the masses' support to avoid any decision being tainted by dilatory decrees. Case in point, Trump taxes.
