BREAKING: President Trump signed an executive order sanctioning the International Criminal Court.
This is an attack on accountability and free speech, exposing people in the U.S. to punishments for helping ICC investigations on atrocities committed anywhere, including genocide and war crimes.

Last night, for the first time, a federal court held that the FBI's warrantless queries of Section 702 databases violated the Fourth Amendment. Enormous win for privacy rights.

Terrible day for the First Amendment and the rights of 170 million Americans who use TikTok. The government should not be allowed to ban an entire platform based on speculative harms and vague invocations of "national security."
The First Amendment demands more here.

Allowing the government to ban a social media platform based on nothing more than hypothetical harms would be a grave mistake.

Today, we filed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to block the TikTok ban. If the law is allowed to go into effect, it would force 170 million American users off the platform starting January 19, 2025.
We hope the Court intervenes to protect our First Amendment rights.

The D.C. Circuit's decision today to uphold the TikTok ban is enormously disappointing. If allowed to stand, it would give the government far too much power to restrict Americans' speech online.
