Social Media Monitoring Faces Legal Challenges

While the specific EFF lawsuit on immigrant social media monitoring isn't directly addressed in these articles, there is a broader pattern of legal challenges related to data privacy and social media (Meta's $18B settlement, Florida vs Netflix, a Canadian suing DHS over social-media-triggered data requests) suggesting continued legal pressure. However, most cases concern child safety/advertising data rather than government surveillance specifically, and none confirm the original lawsuit's outcome or a clear causal shift in company data practices tied to government monitoring pushback.

Horizon short
What would prove this wrong

The lawsuit is dismissed or has no effect on data-collection practices, and no comparable rise in privacy-focused legal challenges or product responses follows.
