Summary

A coalition of privacy defenders, including EFF and labor unions, has filed a lawsuit against the OPM for disclosing millions of Americans' private data to Elon Musk's "Department of Government Efficiency." The complaint alleges that the OPM's actions violate the 1974 Privacy Act, which limits disclosure of sensitive records without consent. This case raises concerns about government data protection, national security, and whistleblower protections.

The plaintiffs seek to stop further data disclosures and have existing data deleted. As a nation's largest employer, the OPM holds vast collections of sensitive personal data, making this case a significant test of privacy laws.
