Big Brother’s Social Media Spying: U.S. Lawsuit Tackles Free Speech Crackdown
The Electronic Frontier Foundation is challenging the U.S. government’s viewpoint-based surveillance of noncitizens’ social media. This lawsuit aims to protect free expression from being stifled by algorithms and AI that consider certain views “hostile.” Because let’s face it, your right to post that bald JD Vance meme should be protected at all costs.

The government seems to be playing a high-stakes game of “Big Brother” with noncitizens’ social media feeds. But don’t worry, the Electronic Frontier Foundation is here to save the day, like a digital superhero team ready to tackle the villainous surveillance program. Grab your capes and keyboards, folks, it’s time to fight for the right to post bald memes without fear of exile!
