US courts will start publishing how often the government uses spyware

The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts announced it will begin publishing data on how frequently judges approve government spyware use for wiretapping suspects. This marks an increase in transparency around surveillance tool authorization.

Why it matters: Government and civil rights stakeholders need visibility into spyware authorization trends to assess potential abuse and inform oversight discussions.
