The Surveillance Technology Oversight Project (STOP) is a New York–based legal organization focused on privacy and surveillance issues at local and state levels. It litigates and advocates to curb excessive surveillance practices and to highlight how such technologies disproportionately affect Muslim Americans, immigrants, and communities of color. The group operates within the legal services sector, aiming to translate concerns about civil liberties into targeted advocacy and litigation efforts that address discriminatory outcomes and broaden protections for affected communities. STOP collaborates with other law firms and advocacy groups on high-profile cases, including a class action against a major corporation reported in 2023, and has produced research detailing digital surveillance risks faced by pregnant individuals and those seeking abortion information. While it engages in partnerships and publishes analyses, the organization remains oriented toward practical legal remedies and policy reform to limit invasive technologies within the United States, with activity anchored in New York and its surrounding region.
