"Criticize the government online? The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) might ask Google to cough up your name. By abusing an investigative tool called "administrative subpoenas," DHS has been demanding that tech companies hand over users' names, locations, and more. We're explaining how companies can stand up for users-and covering the latest news in the fight for privacy and free speech online-with our EFFector newsletter."
"For over 35 years, EFFector has been your guide to understanding the intersection of technology, civil liberties, and the law. This latest issue tracks our campaign to expand end-to-end encryption protections, a bill to stop government face scans from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and others, and why Section 230 remains the best available system to protect everyone's ability to speak online."
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been using administrative subpoenas to demand tech companies turn over users' names, locations, and other information. The subpoenas bypass typical court-order safeguards and raise concerns about unlawful government surveillance. EFF is campaigning to expand end-to-end encryption protections and to stop Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and other agencies from using facial recognition on migrants. EFF positions Section 230 as the best available framework to protect broad online speech. An audio companion features EFF Senior Staff Attorney F. Mario Trujillo explaining how DHS subpoenas differ from court orders. Readers are invited to sign up and support EFF.
