Email updates on news, actions,
and events in your area. The leading nonprofit defending digital privacy, free speech, and innovation.  FEATURED UPDATE Automated license plate readers are simply not comparable to observing an individual license plate on a passing car. As we’ve explained in many amicus briefs and in our lawsuits directly challenging their use, ALPRs give law enforcement “a virtual time machine to view suspects’, or anyone else’s, past movements (and much more) with just the click of a button.”  FEATURED UPDATE Google is rightfully facing blowback for forcing K-12 schools to enable AI if they wanted to keep using Google search. The company quickly backtracked and decoupled and turned off the services by default, but made it clear search will continue to be just another AI chatbot. This mandate forces an ultimatum on educators: accept generative AI or de-google your school. This is a choice that must be made by schools, not Google, and everyone deserves clear set-and-forget controls for the tools they rely on.

Age verification (or age-gating) laws generally require online services to check, estimate, or verify all users’ ages—often through invasive tools like ID checks, biometric scans, or other dubious “age estimation” methods—before granting them access to certain online content or services. Governments in the U.S. and around the world are increasingly... The LatestWhen we need medical care, we expect decisions about our treatment to be made by our doctors, not a tech company's algorithm. But in January, the federal government launched a program that uses AI to to evaluate Medicare beneficiaries' requests for certain procedures. Automated license plate readers are simply not comparable to observing an individual license plate on a passing car. As we’ve explained in many amicus briefs and in our lawsuits directly challenging their use, ALPRs give law enforcement “a virtual time machine to view suspects’, or anyone else’s, past movements (and... The number of petitions being filed at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) has collapsed. That’s not reason for celebration.
