Some Tech Companies Have Privately Pushed Back on #ICE #Subpoenas. They Should All Do More.
In a handful of known cases, large social media companies have privately pushed back against Immigration and #Customs Enforcement (ICE) subpoenas when the agency tried to unmask #anonymous users who tracked #immigration activities or criticized the government.
As ICE engages in a pattern of illegal and chilling investigations, any resistance is welcome. But #socialmedia companies can do more.
[…]
ICE has sent hundreds of subpoenas to large technology companies like #Google , #Meta , and #Reddit.
Publicly challenging these unlawful subpoenas in court has the dual purpose of protecting individual users who may lack the resources or know-how to challenge a #subpoena on their own, while also discouraging ICE from issuing similarly unlawful subpoenas in the future.
