A U.S. District Court in New York denied the government’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed by three labor unions alleging viewpoint‑based social media surveillance of noncitizens. The case, filed in October 2025, targets the Departments of State and Homeland Security and claims violations of the First Amendment and the Administrative Procedure Act. The decision allows the unions to pursue their claims against the surveillance program that uses AI to monitor social media accounts.
Why it matters: The ruling lets unions challenge a government AI‑driven social media surveillance program that threatens free speech and privacy of noncitizens.
