The U.S. Department of Justice is seeking personal data on potentially over 100,000 users of EZ Lynk's Auto Agent app through subpoenas to Apple, Google, Amazon, and Walmart in a years-long enforcement action alleging the app enables users to bypass diesel vehicle emissions controls in violation of the Clean Air Act. EZ Lynk denies the allegations and characterizes the broad subpoenas as overreach, with Apple and Google reportedly preparing to challenge the requests amid privacy concerns.
