"EFF Sues DOGE and the Office of Personnel Management to Halt Ransacking of Federal Data" (February 11, 2025) EFF and a coalition of privacy defenders have filed a lawsuit today asking a federal court to block Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing the private information of millions of Americans that is stored by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and to delete any data that has been collected or removed from databases thus far.... <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/02/eff-sues-doge-and-office-personnel-management-halt-ransacking-federal-data https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/02/eff-sues-doge-and-offi...> "EFF Sues OPM, DOGE and Musk for Endangering the Privacy of Millions" (February 11, 2025) (Concerns same action.) "The Dangers of Consolidating All Government Information" (June 5, 2025) The Trump administration has been heavily invested in consolidating all of the government’s information into a single searchable, or perhaps AI-queryable, super database. The compiling of all of this information is being done with the dubious justification of efficiency and modernization–however, in many cases, this information was originally siloed for important reasons: to protect your privacy, to prevent different branches of government from using sensitive data to punish or harass you, and to perserve the trust in and legitimacy of important civic institutions. Just three of several DDG results at eff.org for 'doge "government efficiency"': <https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ftsa&q=site%3Aeff.org+doge+%22government+efficiency%22&ia=web https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ftsa&q=site%3Aeff.org+doge+%22gove...> (there are numerous dupes, mostly of these three items best I can tell). I hope this somewhat restores your faith in EFF, and if not, I'd appreciate hearing why, if you care to say.
