EFF sues Elon Musk and DOGE to block their access to federal employee data
Briefly

The Electronic Frontier Foundation, along with several federal employee unions, has initiated a lawsuit against Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to prevent access to sensitive personal information of millions of Americans stored by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). The lawsuit demands not only a blockage of this access but also the deletion of any previously collected data. Concerns have been raised regarding potential privacy violations and abuse of power following DOGE's access to OPM's extensive employee database, which includes deeply personal information about federal employees.
The mishandling of information in OPM's systems could lead to significant and varied abuses, with DOGE's unchecked access endangering federal employees' privacy and security.
DOGE's access to unrestricted information poses risks of privacy violations and political pressure, raising alarms about potential abuses within Musk's domain.
