Beyond not procuring them, a worthwhile law regulating armed police drones and robots must take into consideration remote controlled and autonomous devices as well as the deployment of both lethal and less lethal force. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/lawmakers-must-act-now-prevent-armed-police-drones

The California 3D printer scheme proposed by AB 2047 still won’t work, still mandates surveillance, still censors lawful expression, and still creates a bad deal for consumers. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/we-can-still-stop-californias-3d-printer-surveillance-scheme

If Grindr wants to show it cares about queer people over profits, it should better protect its users’ privacy. That means getting users’ opt-in consent before using their personal data for AI training or behavioral advertising. https://eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/grindr-put-queer-safety-and-privacy-over-profits

The explosion of surveillance technology has made the U.S.-Mexico border area “a hostile environment” for locals and would-be migrants, EFF’s @nprofile…au66 told @nprofile…8fsc.

X violating user data in 2022 led to an FTC order requiring it to take platform security seriously and periodically report to the regulator. Its new petition to waive those requirements should be fully rejected. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/eff-and-allies-xs-ftc-petition-waive-privacy-violation-order-should-be-rejected

Locking down your phone, being mindful of what you're wearing, and coming up with plans to communicate with others are all key steps to take before attending a protest. https://ssd.eff.org/module/attending-protest

This updated version of AB 2047 downgrades performance standards and removes oversight, while still threatening privacy and choice for users of 3D printers. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/we-can-still-stop-californias-3d-printer-surveillance-scheme

Far from protecting children, Illinois’ HB 5511 will effectively dismantle online anonymity, jeopardize data security, and severely restrict access to constitutionally protected speech for young people and adults alike. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/eff-gov-pritzker-veto-illinois-hb-5511

Right now, the only thing holding back most police from deploying armed drones and robots is the policies of companies and the social stigma surrounding the issue. Neither of these will hold forever. We need regulation. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/lawmakers-must-act-now-prevent-armed-police-drones

The Illinois legislature recently passed House Bill 5511, a well-intentioned but deeply flawed piece of legislation that will harm young people’s ability to find information and community online. We are asking Gov. Pritzker to veto it. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/eff-gov-pritzker-veto-illinois-hb-5511

"Although the Court stopped short of striking down these warrants as inherently unconstitutional, we look forward to pressing lower courts to eliminate these warrants once and for all." (3/3)

"In recent years, police around the country have relied on geofence warrants like the one in this case tens of thousands of times to cast dragnets that violate the privacy of innocent bystanders, all without even targeting a known suspect or device. (2/3)
