The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is the leading organization defending civil liberties in the digital world. For decades EFF has worked tirelessly in the courts and with activists to protect the freedom to hack, tinker, remix, and create for the long term good of society. EFF defends free speech on the Internet, fights illegal surveillance, supports freedom-enhancing technologies, and much more. The EFF team consists of a unique blend of activists, technologists, and attorneys that work to ensure that the rights and freedoms we enjoy are enhanced, rather than eroded, as our use of technology grows.
