The court agrees. The government should not use national security as an excuse for unconstitutional retribution against companies that are skeptical of conducting mass surveillance of Americans.

Meta’s $17 billion settlement with 52 state attorneys general doesn’t just affect teens. It requires age assurance for Facebook and Instagram users in nearly every state, and normalizes an invasive system that threatens anonymity online. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/09/metas-17-billion-settlement-bad-deal-teens-and-all-social-media-users

Social media bans and other age-based restrictions deny young people their rights to access information and speak online, EFF’s @davidgreene.bsky.social told @theguardian.com. Non-governmental alternatives – such as parental control tools provided by the companies – are better options.

“Invasive searches like ALPR database queries must require a judicial warrant,” EFF’s @cooperq.com told @fastcompany.com. “Policymakers must seize this moment—when even the leading ALPR vendor has admitted they have done too little to prevent abuse—to, at minimum, codify real protections into law.”

Imagine if McDonald’s could use trademark law to control how you use the term “fast food.” The LDS Church has a track record of claiming exactly that kind of authority over the word “Mormon,” using the threat of expensive litigation to pressure speakers into compliance. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/08/dismiss-churchs-trademark-lawsuit-against-mormon-stories-podcast-eff-urges-court
