The EFF and a coalition have filed a lawsuit to block Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency from accessing sensitive data held by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). The lawsuit seeks not only to prevent further data sharing but also requests the deletion of already collected data. Plaintiffs include federal employees and unions concerned about the potential abuses of sensitive information, including personal and work-related data. The urgency is underscored by a recent federal ruling that temporarily blocked DOGE's access to critical systems, highlighting ongoing privacy concerns.
This brazen ransacking of Americans' sensitive data is unheard of in scale. We are asking the court for a temporary restraining order to cease this dangerous and illegal intrusion.
The mishandling of this information could lead to such significant and varied abuses that they are impossible to detail.
