EFF Sues OPM, DOGE, and Musk for Privacy Violations

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), along with other privacy advocacy groups, filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and Elon Musk's "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE). The suit alleges that OPM illegally disclosed sensitive personal data of millions of federal employees to DOGE, violating the Privacy Act of 1974. The plaintiffs include labor unions and individual federal workers. The complaint seeks to halt further data disclosures and the deletion of any data already shared. The EFF has a long history of fighting for digital privacy rights and challenging government surveillance. The case highlights concerns over the protection of sensitive personal information held by government agencies.
