The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has appealed to the California Supreme Court to maintain the integrity of the Stored Communications Act, a crucial law from 1986 ensuring user privacy regarding their communications. The Act establishes a user's reasonable expectation that providers like Meta and Snap won’t disclose communication content. EFF argues that a recent lower court ruling threatens these privacy rights by potentially allowing providers to share user communications with third parties. Along with the Center for Democracy & Technology and Mozilla Corporation, EFF has filed an amicus brief to support the continued protection of these privacy standards.
The EFF is advocating for the Stored Communications Act, emphasizing that the reasonable expectation of privacy must be upheld to protect users from unauthorized disclosures.
In a bid to challenge a lower court's decision, EFF, alongside key partners, is stressing the importance of privacy protections that have stood the test of time for 40 years.
