Original: ⚖️ Victory! Court Rejects Government Effort to Dismiss Social Media Surveillance Lawsuit Judge Allows Social Media Surve
A federal court in New York has rejected the government's attempt to dismiss a lawsuit over social media surveillance, allowing the case against the Trump administration to proceed. The suit was filed by three labor unions against the Departments of State and Homeland Security. Civil liberties advocates are celebrating the ruling as a victory for privacy and free speech, while the case now moves forward to examine the government's monitoring of social media activity.
Why now: The court's refusal to dismiss the case is seen as a significant win against government social media surveillance.
