EFF filed an amicus brief in The Intercept Media, Inc. and Freedom of the Press Foundation v. Trump et al., arguing that the administration's use of Truth Social's paid early-access scheme—offering advance access to official posts for up to $100,000 per month—violates the First Amendment right of equal access to public officials' public statements. The brief says the practice gives paying subscribers preferential access to government announcements and that profit is not a legitimate justification for restricting timely access.
