The Epoch Times Recent court filings show that the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) will disclose documents about its controversial social media surveillance program, but the government has also indicated it may fight to keep other records secret.

Judicial Watch, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), and the James Madison Project have filed separate complaints against the USPS for failing to fulfill a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for records on the program, while the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) sued because the government hasnât conducted a privacy impact assessment for iCOPâa review of what information is collected, why itâs being collected, how the information is used, and how the data is stored.
