Social Media Monitoring Faces Legal Challenges
The specific EFF lawsuit referenced in the prediction isn't directly addressed in these articles, so we can't confirm its outcome or direct effects on data practices. However, there is continued broader activity around surveillance concerns (ICE monitoring, age-verification debates, EFF commentary) suggesting sustained legal/advocacy pressure, though no clear evidence of concrete product or policy changes by companies tied specifically to this lawsuit.
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.
