Analysis Summary
The EFF filed a Supreme Court brief arguing that U.S. tech companies should face legal accountability when they deliberately help foreign governments commit human rights abuses. The brief targets Cisco's sale of surveillance tools to China that were used to persecute religious groups like Falun Gong — this is a well-documented case that's been in litigation for years. The argument is straightforward: when a company custom-builds repression tools for a government, that crosses into corporate liability. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments on April 28.
