## The brief

EFF describes instances in which Meta and Reddit challenged immigration-enforcement demands for account information behind the scenes. It argues that private objections are useful but insufficient, especially when users must arrange their own legal challenges. The organization calls on technology companies to provide clearer public commitments and, where appropriate, contest improper demands in court themselves.
