       Court records belong to the public. PACER's paywall puts a price on public access. The Open Courts Act would modernize federal court records and eliminate PACER fees. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/court-records-should-be-free

       @eff No question that federal court records should be open and free to the public. Shocking that they aren’t.

       @eff American court records aren't free??? Geez, why is that country such a shithole?

       @eff I imagine there is some very fierce lobbying going on (maybe the last check didn't clear in time?)

       @eff Why legal documents aren't already accessible via BitTorrent is beyond me. Cryptographic signatures and timestamps exist and the USPS already hires private individuals to run post offices, so why not hire local data hoarders to host local digital archives of court records.
