太迟太浅：Flock承认其技术需要改革
Flock Safety将ALPR数据默认保留期从30天改为7天，并新增犯罪类型过滤和审计功能，但EFF认为这些改革只是表面修补，核心问题在于企业不应自行决定监控数据的保留期限，警方调取历史数据应需法官签署的搜查令。

收藏EFF的图片是谁（或什么）制作的？

Meta必须停止压制生殖健康信息
EFF向Meta监督委员会提交公开意见，指出Meta内容审核系统频繁误删处方药、堕胎护理和医疗经历的合法教育内容。EFF收集近100个案例，发现自动化审核无法区分药物交易与合法讨论，多个医疗机构账号被限流或封禁。EFF提出五项要求：发布清晰政策、一致执行、提供违规解释、建立有效申诉系统、扩大人工审核。
参议院本周投票四项互联网法案，EFF：方向错了
美国参议院商务委员会本周将对四项互联网法案投票，EFF认为这些法案以保护未成年人为名，实际上会扩大年龄验证和数据收集，侵犯所有用户的隐私。EFF建议参议院应转向制定全国消费者隐私法案或禁止行为广告，而非通过KOSA、SCREEN Act、Youth AI Privacy Act和CHATBOT Act。

EFF联合民权组织呼吁FTC撤回其灾难性的AI政策提案
EFF联合Public Knowledge和Fight for the Future向FTC提交联合评论，要求撤回其关于"抑制AI准确性"的政策提案。该提案直接援引特朗普政府"防止觉醒AI"行政令，被指三项缺陷：违反第一修正案（FTC无权充当真理仲裁者）、越权覆盖州AI法规（如科罗拉多州自动化决策法）、以及为"jawboning"（政府施压企业审查言论）铺路。EFF建议FTC回归保护消费者免受真实欺诈的核心使命。 
青少年AI隐私法案的隐私悖论
美国参议院即将审议的《青少年AI隐私法案》本意是保护未成年人隐私，但EFF指出它反而会迫使AI公司收集更多用户数据——因为要识别哪些是未成年人，服务必须设置年龄验证门槛。法案还允许AI公司以"防止用户受到伤害"为名收集未成年人个人信息，且条款模糊。EFF认为更好的做法是对所有用户一视同仁地提供隐私保护，而非仅针对未成年人。此外，法案要求的"安全设计功能"（如限制推送通知）可能违反第一修正案，联邦法院已多次阻止类似州法生效。

旧金山：别信行业为监控定价辩护的说辞
EFF 呼吁旧金山监督委员会支持 A.B. 2654 法案，禁止基于个人数据的差异化定价。 美国联邦贸易委员会（FTC）已发现企业可能利用用户画像在深夜向新父母推送更高价商品。隐私不应成为影响价格的筹码，EFF 反对任何将隐私与价格挂钩的做法。 旧金山商会曾以合规和折扣问题反对该法案，但法案文本已明确定义“监控定价”并排除正常促销场景，包括基于成本差异、退出服务优惠及公开可参与的会员折扣。EFF 认为此类做法与在线行为广告类似，应被政府禁止。
